Objective

Workshop Abstract

The Global Quantum Computing Market Size was estimated at USD 10.13 Billion in 2022 and is expected to surpass around USD 125 Billion by 2030. It is poised to grow at a projected CAGR of 36.89% from 2023 to 2030. Total quantum investments have increased from USD 59 Million in 2012 to an estimated USD 2.7 Billion in 2022.

In the next decade, quantum information science (QIS) discoveries will transform businesses, including energy storage, chemical engineering, drug discovery, financial services, materials science, communications, and more.

The quantum workforce needs to include talented people across various roles and functions to drive broader adoption and ultimately deliver business benefit. There are opportunities for people with skills in management consulting, PR and communications, investment strategies, operations, project management, legal, regulatory, and policy issues as well as education.

Participants will learn how to assemble a quantum workforce in order to leverage the transformational power of quantum information science to drive their business model, ultimately providing competitive advantage regardless of vertical or geography.
