QWave - OXFORD ECONOMICS IMPACT REPORT: THE BENEFITS OF QUANTUM COMPUTING TO THE UK ECONOMY​

We are pleased to invite you to the next session of the QuIC QWave Webinar Series on Friday, May 23rd at 13:00 CEST (12:00 BST), featuring insights from leading experts on the economic impact of quantum computing in the UK. In this session, we will delve into the key findings of the Oxford Economics Impact Report, which explores how quantum computing could boost the UK economy by up to £200 billion in gross value added (GVA) by 2040, with the potential to create over 140,000 jobs by 2055. This important report outlines both the opportunities and the challenges ahead as quantum technologies move toward commercial implementation. Our expert panel includes: • Andy Logan, Director at Oxford Economics, who will present the report’s main conclusions and the projected economic benefits of quantum. • Gerald Mullally, Interim CEO of OQC, the UK’s leading superconducting quantum hardware company, who will share industry perspectives on commercial readiness and strategic growth. • David Morcuende, Network Manager at QuIC, who will moderate the discussion. This session will feature: • A brief presentation of the report. • A dynamic panel discussion addressing key topics like funding, talent, sovereignty, and the potential risk of technological offshoring. • An audience Q&A session. This webinar offers an excellent opportunity for researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals to better understand how Europe—and particularly the UK—can position itself as a leader in the global quantum economy. We encourage you to share this event and join us for a thought-provoking discussion on shaping the future of quantum in Europe.
