CEE-Swiss Impulse Session
QUANTUM COMPUTING 2025
How the technologies of tomorrow are shaping the economy of today – The emergence of a Global Quantum Hub
with Dr. Frederik F. Flöther, Chief Quantum Officer of QuantumBasel
About the Webinar
The future of the industry is not far off – it is already happening now. Quantum technologies, artificial intelligence, and next-generation computing are already transforming industry and creating new competitive frontiers with unprecedented opportunities. But how do we bridge the gap between innovation and impact? In this keynote, Damir will present the bold vision behind QuantumBasel – Switzerland’s first quantum and AI hub, strategically located on the UptownBasel Innovation Campus. He will explain how QuantumBasel is driving innovation through real-world quantum and AI projects that empower industry by providing companies with quantum knowledge and applications, including seamless access to quantum, GPU, and classical computing power.
This is about more than just technology – it’s about redefining the economy of tomorrow.
