Quantum: Business, innovation and cybersecurity

What does quantum technology mean in practice? Explore the opportunities, challenges and real-world legal implications for organisations looking to understand and prepare for what comes next.

Quantum technology is no longer confined to laboratories and science fiction. As investment accelerates and practical applications become increasingly viable, organisations are beginning to ask an important question: are we ready for quantum?

Join DAC Beachcroft and guest panellists for a discussion on the developments shaping the quantum landscape, from innovation and investment to cybersecurity and data protection. We’ll explore where the technology is heading, the practical challenges organisations may face, and the real-world legal implications that businesses should be considering as quantum technologies continue to evolve.

Whether you’re working in technology, investing in emerging innovation or simply interested in what comes next, this session will provide a practical introduction to one of the most talked-about developments in computing today.

Topics will include:

• What quantum computing is and why it matters now
• The opportunities quantum could create for businesses, investors and innovators
• The cybersecurity and data challenges organisations should be thinking about today
• Protecting innovation and intellectual property in a rapidly evolving technology landscape
• How organisations can become “quantum ready”

Following the discussion, attendees are invited to stay for drinks and networking with fellow founders, technology leaders, investors, researchers and digital innovators from across the Yorkshire technology community.
