Just returned from Q-Expo 2026 in Bilbao — an impressive gathering of researchers, founders, investors, and institutions shaping the future of quantum technologies.What stood out most was how quickly the conversation around quantum is evolving from pure research toward infrastructure, industrial applications, cybersecurity, and investment strategy.Across the discussions, one thing became increasingly clear:Quantum is no longer a distant scientific ambition.It is becoming a geopolitical, industrial, and economic priority.From quantum computing and photonics to resilient infrastructure and next-generation cybersecurity, the ecosystem is maturing rapidly — and Europe has a real opportunity to play a leading role in this transition.It was also great to exchange perspectives with teams working at the intersection of deeptech, AI, advanced computing, and venture capital.The next decade will likely be defined by those who understand early where computation, energy, capital, and sovereignty are converging.Excited for what comes next.
