undefined

This new insight report aims to raise awareness of quantum technologies’ power to tackle humanity’s most pressing challenges, from large-scale decarbonization to the design of new solar cells, green fertilizers and advanced health monitoring devices, among others.

Such transformative solutions have the potential to significantly affect the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda, but only by building a robust, collaborative network to support their global scale-up. By joining forces, key stakeholders can contribute to the quantum for society ecosystem and promote the formation of a vibrant innovators' movement that can grow and thrive in every corner of the world despite quantum’s long time horizon.

Preparing the global community for the inclusive adoption of quantum technology, ensuring broad access, disseminating knowledge and promoting multilateral cooperation will be pivotal in advancing the sustainability and social agenda.
