We would like to thank all the participants for their time, expertise, and invaluable contributions. Insights from the workshop will help shape our upcoming "Is Europe Ready for the Quantum Age?" report, expected to be published in September 2025.

This was followed by a foresight-driven policy discussion led by @OWoeffray and Felipe Sarachaga from @Arup. We explored how Europe can lead in quantum competitiveness with actionable policy paths.

Opening remarks by Irene Blázquez and @leoquattrucci set the tone for an insightful session. @IEuniversity professor Elena @yndurain shared early findings on the first phase of the Quantum Policy Lab project.

Today we hosted a quantum foresight workshop as part of our Quantum Policy Lab, in collaboration with the @CFG_ThinkTank. We were honored to be joined by a group of outstanding participants whose insights will help shape the future of quantum policy in Europe.

Last week we hosted a six-day foresight course on Tech and Geopolitics at the @UniofOxford. It was part of @IEbusiness' Global Executive MBA and was curated by Oxford Prof. @CarissaVeliz. The course highlights our commitment to bringing our research directly into the classroom.

1️⃣ Small open economies missed out on the 2010s data boom — and some may have faced negative returns trying to participate due to lack of scale.

The distinct properties of #data are reshaping power. Small open economies in the EU and elsewhere are losing out — economically, strategically, geopolitically. 🧵Here’s why, from our latest paper in the #GeopoliticsoftheDigitalEra series by @DanCiuriak

Our latest #EuropeanTechInsights poll reveals that 65.8% of Europeans believe that European governments are not moving fast enough in government digitalization to stay competitive. To dive deeper into these insights, read the full report here:
