On 22 May, @PQI – Portuguese Quantum Institute organised the Workshop Quantum Technologies and Industry: Towards Quantum Made in Portugal to foster the involvement of industry to building a quantum ecossystem in Portugal.
The workshop focused on informing industrial stakeholders in Portugal about the latest developments in Quantum Technologies, and upcoming opportunities for industry, including in the context of the Quantum Europe Strategy, and the upcoming EU Quantum Act.
The workshop addressed the role of industry in quantum business ecosystems, including providing use-cases, developing classical technologies enabling quantum industry, and fostering innovation in quantum technologies. To foster industry engagement, PQI’s CQII – Centre for Quantum Industry and Innovation launched a survey to identify businesses’ quantum capabilities with the aim to building a catalogue of quantum ready companies.
