# Event Details - **Event Name**: Quantum computing readiness: From awareness to business value - **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 18 May, 2026 at 11:30 am – Mon, 18 May, 2026 at 01:00 pm (+02:00) - **Event Description**: OECD session explores how firms can move from quantum awareness to real business value, with insights from industry, research & tech provideAbout this EventQuantum computing holds transformative potential across multiple sectors, from pharmaceuticals and materials science to finance and transportation. As pioneering firms begin to explore this technology as a potential source of long-term competitive advantage, a key question emerges: how can companies prepare for a technology that is highly promising yet still emerging?Organised by the OECD, this session builds on the recent report Building business readiness for quantum computing, which examines how firms can move from awareness to action. Drawing on insights from technology providers, public research organisations, research and technology infrastructures, industry associations, consulting firms, and research and innovation agencies, the session will highlight emerging approaches to supporting business engagement with quantum computing.A panel discussion will examine how companies are seeking to engage with quantum computing as the technology continues to mature, despite unclear use cases, high costs, and limited access to skills and infrastructure. Building readiness requires not only internal capabilities, but also support from a broader ecosystem of actors contributing to learning and experimentation. The discussion will highlight how companies are beginning to build readiness, the main barriers they face, and the role of public and private organisations in enabling technology engagement. It will provide practical insights into how prospective end users can take steps toward meaningful engagement in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/bilbao/quantum-computing-readiness-from-awareness-to-business-value/100001987749686822 - **Event Categories**: it, art, business, science-fair, fine-arts, theatre - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: EUR ## Event venue details - **city**: Bilbao - **state**: PV - **country**: Spain - **location**: Palacio Euskalduna - **lat**: 43.2667486 - **long**: -2.9437909 - **full address**: Palacio Euskalduna, 4 Abandoibarra Etorbidea, Bilbao, Spain ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Quantum computing readiness: From awareness to business value - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/35092973743b8e6cf3dbb936711b708164d6fa6da4c60b2cba7b396718fe3898-rimg-w1200-h1199-dc010403-gmir.jpg?v=1777389046 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Quantum computing readiness: From awareness to business value being held? - **A:** Quantum computing readiness: From awareness to business value takes place on Mon, 18 May, 2026 at 11:30 am to Mon, 18 May, 2026 at 01:00 pm at Palacio Euskalduna, 4 Abandoibarra Etorbidea, Bilbao, Spain. - **Q**: Who is organizing Quantum computing readiness: From awareness to business value? - **A:** Quantum computing readiness: From awareness to business value is organized by European Quantum Industry Consortium e.V. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
