With 2025 declared the ‘International Year of Quantum’ by UNESCO, now is the time to get ahead of the next wave of emerging technologies. Quantum computing – a specific innovation within the broader field of quantum technology – is set to transform everything from national security to public service delivery, but the field remains complex and often misunderstood. This event, hosted on World Quantum Day, will offer a clear, accessible introduction to what quantum computing means for you as someone working in policy, and why it matters. Join leading experts as they break down quantum computing’s potential impact, highlight real-world use cases and discuss the crucial role policymakers play in shaping its future. Whether you’re new to the topic or looking to deepen your understanding, this session will provide the insights and new knowledge you need to lead confidently into the quantum era. --- *Interested in how Apolitical can support you and your organisation?
