One of the spotlights during the summit was firmly on quantum computing—a field poised to revolutionize industries worldwide. In this context, Javier Aizpurua, Director of Basque Quantum, and Nerea Martiartu, Director of Lantik, played pivotal roles on explaining how Basque institutions are fostering different initiatives (with Basque Quantum being the one that brings them all together) oriented towards the promotion and advancement of a robust ecosystem around Quantum Technologies in the Basque Country.

In this sense, and as part of the BasQ initiative, both Aizpurua and Martiartu shared their insights on the potential of Quantum Technologies. Their joint participation underscored the collaborative efforts within the Basque community to drive quantum innovation. As Javier Aizpurua mentioned “Quantum computing is not just a theoretical concept; it’s a tangible force that will reshape how businesses operate. At Basque Quantum, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of quantum research and application and get ready for this transformation. We see quantum as a catalyst for efficiency gains, optimization and transformative solutions across various domains.”
