☀️ A sunny Brussels morning to discuss bright future possibilities!   With quantum still emerging in the minds of many policymakers and industry leaders, now is a pivotal, exciting moment. Quantum Delta NL is a key frontrunner, bringing the top names in Brussels together this morning for the first key dialogue on making the most of this emerging, game-changing tech.   🗝️ Highlights from the morning:   🎤 Keynote by Dusan Chrenek (EU Environment and Climate) The European Commission's Principal Adviser on Digital for the Green Transition highlighted the potential of Destination Earth and digital twins to revolutionise climate modelling. Quantum computing could supercharge these tools, enabling better predictions, better adaptation, and better decisions.   His call to action: "The digital transition is a generation-defining opportunity. Tech companies are vital partners — we must rise to the challenge together."   🧠 Panel 1: Making Quantum for Energy a reality at EU Level Pascal Maillot (EU Digital & Tech), Nikolaos Kontinakis (EU Energy) Luis Vale Cunha(E-REDES, E.DSO, European Technology and Innovation Platform on Smart Networks for Energy Transition), a deep dive into the policy landscape: 🔹 Grid congestion, big data overload, and fragmented standards are real roadblocks. 🔹 Quantum isn’t a magic bullet — it's still early — but with an organised community, standards, and strategic implementation, it can be a game-changer. 🔹 "Innovation without implementation is useless." - there is plenty of funding for research, but bringing solutions remains a challenge.   🔥 Fireside Chat on Standardisation Axel Ferrazzini (GovStrat) reminded us: "Standardisation only works if it's global." A call to coordinate across Europe and beyond — because Europe has the assets to lead. But 'if we are not fast enough, others will do it'. We should not lose our key advantage on such sensitive technologies.   💸 Panel 2: Financing the Quantum Leap Hicham Najem (EIT Digital), Désirée Rückert (European Investment Bank (EIB)), and Thomas Garabetian (SolarPower Europe) agreed: 🔹 We have promising start-ups — but need to bridge the gap between research and market. 🔹 Standardisation and early adopters are key to unlocking private finance. 🔹 We need the big industrial players to start using European quantum tech. Adoption now means loyalty later. 🔹Industry needs a sign from policymakers to launch. We are all eagerly awaiting the Commission's Quantum Strategy in June!   💬 This conversation is just the beginning, and we are really looking forward to seeing how momentum unfolds.   Thankyou to all speakers, moderators, and participants who made this session a success.   And thanks to the ever-impressive Romain Triollet for capturing the energy and light of the morning.   #Quantum #CleanEnergy #DigitalTransition #ClimateTech #QuantumComputing #Brussels #ETIP #EUScience #GreenTech #Innovation #PublicPrivatePartnership #DestinationEarth #Standardisation
