​TL;DR

​This session explores the real-world potential, and current limitations, of quantum computing in tackling the climate crisis, from grid optimization to materials discovery. Join founders, investors, and corporate leaders to cut through the hype and drive collaboration toward meaningful climate outcomes.

​Topic overview

​As the climate crisis intensifies, we urgently need transformational, not incremental, technological advances. Quantum computing, though still in its early stages, promises breakthroughs in climate modelling, materials discovery, and energy system optimization that classical computing can’t match.

​What’s up for discussion?

​The session will explore where quantum computing can genuinely accelerate climate solutions, such as in materials discovery, grid optimization, and climate modeling, and where its potential remains speculative. It will examine the gap between hype and readiness, and whether we’re investing in outcomes or just potential. Lastly, the discussion should consider who shapes this agenda and how to ensure it supports global climate goals.

​Dream outcome

​To catalyze concrete collaboration and build momentum around applying quantum computing for real-world climate impact.

​Who should attend?

​Quantum founders, researchers, corporate innovation teams, and climate-focused investors interested in the intersection of quantum technology and climate solutions.
