HEC Paris - Innovation & Entrepreneurship Institute’s Post

The future of computing is NOT what you think❗👀 Quantum is just the top of the iceberg. Neuromorphic and Photonic computing are on their way to disrupt everything. ⚡️ But with great power comes great responsibility (and HUGE challenges!). At the recent Creative Destruction Lab (CDL) Next Gen Computing session held in Heilbronn, Germany, Europe’s leading minds gathered to define both the breakthroughs—and the bottlenecks—defining the deep tech frontier. A frontier that is no longer defined by one technology, but by an interconnected stack of innovations creating the backbone of the next digital era. 💫 From modular quantum systems to ultra-efficient neuromorphic chips and photonic processors transmitting data at light speed, the session explored how these innovations can drive scalable growth while addressing some of the main challenges, and Deep Tech entrepreneurs face: → Scientific Maturity & Technical Readiness → Infrastructure & Cost → Commercialization Gap → Strategic & Ethical Considerations → Human Capital Our Institute is proud to be part of these thought-provoking discussions and this transformative journey through CDL-Paris — a program operated by our Deep Tech Center. 💡 The Next Gen Computing stream is jointly run with CDL-Berlin, part of the Institute for DEEP - Institute for Deep Tech Innovation at ESMT Berlin. It is also supported by the Dieter Schwarz Foundation and powered by key affiliate partners, including TUM Campus Heilbronn and Campus Founders. There’s more! For the final session of the Next Gen Computing Stream, the CDL-Paris ecosystem will reunite in Marseille from April 23–25, 2025, at TANGRAM Center, marking CDL-Paris’s 5-year anniversary celebration alongside streams on Climate, AI, and Space. 👉 Follow us to stay in the loop - as something massive will surely happen there... !
