How can businesses strategically build their quantum readiness? The OECD\u00a0provides\u00a0key insights\u00a0in\u00a0a new paper.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The latest\u00a0OECD – OCDE<\/a>\u00a0Digital Economy Paper, “Building Business Readiness for Quantum Computing”, systematically examines how companies can prepare for the commercial use of quantum computing, highlighting\u00a0common\u00a0barriers that stand in the way. The study is based on interviews with 16 public and private organizations across 10 countries, including QUTAC.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The four main barriers\u00a0identified\u00a0\u2014 insufficient technological maturity, limited awareness of business implications, costs of accessing quantum computing resources, and workforce shortages \u2014 are challenges QUTAC tackles in its daily work as a consortium of 14 leading industrial companies.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To address these\u00a0barriers, the study emphasizes the importance of collaborative approaches, such as industrial consortia, networking platforms, and joint research. We are therefore pleased to see our model\u00a0recognised\u00a0as a concrete mechanism to build quantum readiness.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At QUTAC, we jointly research quantum algorithms and industrial use cases,\u00a0<\/span>publish our results<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u00a0for others’ benefit, and develop tools such as the\u00a0<\/span>QC-Monitor<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u00a0to track the German ecosystem.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We strive to actively shape quantum\u00a0technologies towards industrial applicability, through\u00a0both\u00a0science and policy, welcoming dialogue on this topic with policymakers, companies, and all other interested parties.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
