Quantum technologies promise a fundamentally new approach to solving complex problems that are beyond the reach of classical computing from deeper understanding of chemical properties and improving R&D pipelines to accelerating optimization in logistics or finance. Yet, this promise comes with disruption: quantum computing threatens current cryptographic standards, requiring large-scale adaptation across digital systems to remain compliant with regulation, manage risk, and ensure long-term cyber resilience.

As quantum moves from research to the mainstream narrative, separating signal from noise becomes critical. In this panel, we will explore where the technology stands, identify no-regret steps for organisations today, and discuss why the field is attracting so much attention.
