Activating the quantum era from Spain

Quantum Computing with Marta Estarellas. Keynote focused on how Spain is activating the quantum era from an industrial and strategic perspective. The session will explore the shift of quantum computing from experimental research to a new technological capability with real impact across sectors such as energy, logistics, finance, healthcare and advanced industry. In a context where artificial intelligence, advanced simulation and complex system optimization are pushing the limits of traditional computing, the discussion will examine Spain’s commitment to developing its own technology, bringing it closer to industry and accelerating adoption beyond the laboratory. The keynote will address how to enable concrete industrial use cases, lower entry barriers for companies and technology centers, develop talent and build a “quantum-ready” ecosystem capable of creating a new technology value chain with tangible economic impact.
