PARIS, 25 Dec. - (ANA) - Quantum technologies promise advances in computing, secure communications, and ultra-precise measurement. 

 

Quantum technologies are moving from the lab to real-world impact, promising advances in computing, secure communications, and ultra-precise measurement. 

 

But who is driving this progress, and how is the global landscape evolving? This joint EPO-OECD report offers an in-depth mapping of the worldwide quantum ecosystem, revealing where innovation is happening, how investment is growing, and what skills are most needed.

 

The report draws on unique data from patents, startups, investment flows, and workforce trends to show a fast-growing but uneven field. While the United States leads in innovation and funding, Europe, Asia, and other regions are building strong foundations. 

 

Both nimble startups and established companies play vital roles, and public support and international collaboration are key to future progress.

 

This publication provides a clear, accessible overview of the opportunities and challenges in quantum, helping readers better understand this emerging field which could shape economies and societies worldwide.   - (ANA) -
