Track Opening - Quantum Technologies

In AI, Europe is playing catch-up. In quantum, we are not — yet. Austria has world-class research, a strong startup scene and companies that have already started experimenting. That advantage has a shelf life: the same pattern that cost Europe its position in AI is available again, and the window to avoid it is roughly the next three years. This track is about using it — no formulas, no vendor pitches, just what is real today, what has a hard deadline, and where research and industry have to work together now.
