Quantum conference for businesses

Quantum technologies are poised to usher in a new era of business innovation. Although many of its applications are still in the research and experimental stages, its progress is opening up new possibilities in fields such as industry, energy, logistics, mobility, finance, healthcare, telecommunications, and cybersecurity.

This event, organized by the Asturian Quality Club in collaboration with CTIC and Quantum Asturias, will bring quantum technologies closer to the reality of organizations, offering a rigorous assessment of their level of maturity, their potential applications, and the opportunities they may present for businesses.

Ana María Sánchez, head of Quantum Computing at GMV, will participate in the panel discussion “Preparing for Quantum Computing: Real Opportunities Beyond the Hype,” which will address the maturity of these technologies, their progress, and some application scenarios across various sectors. In this context, she will discuss the Q-MIND (Quantum Madrid for Innovation and New Developments) project, led by GMV and designed to accelerate the transfer of quantum knowledge from the laboratory to real-world applications. Q-MIND integrates quantum computing capabilities, secure quantum communications, and post-quantum cryptography and cybersecurity. This project is co-funded by the European Union through European Funds under the framework of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), as part of the Community of Madrid program promoted by the Regional Ministry of Education, Science, and Universities.

The panel will also include representatives from QURECA, Repsol, and ASINCAR, and will be moderated by Abel Martínez, a researcher at the CTIC Quantum Lab. The event will provide an overview of the current state of quantum technologies and their potential opportunities for businesses, as well as a review of the capabilities of the Asturian ecosystem and the evolution of the Spanish and European quantum ecosystems.
