Following the spotlight, a fireside chat with Dr. Owen Lozman and Dr. Kai Hudek will take the conversation deeper—moving from vision to execution in the emerging quantum economy; together, they will unpack the real state of the technology, the timelines for commercial breakthroughs, and the sectors most likely to experience near-term disruption, while offering an insider perspective on how capital is being deployed and what differentiates signal from noise in a rapidly crowded field; the discussion will also explore how governments and investors can move beyond passive observation to active positioning—building the partnerships, talent pipelines, and strategic frameworks required to engage with quantum as both a national priority and a generational investment opportunity.
