Quantum technology holds the potential to become a primary source of future industrial competitiveness, with research, development, and real-world implementation accelerating globally. To further expedite industrialization, it is essential to go beyond technical development and focus on cultivating the necessary talent and fostering active corporate engagement. While quantum technology continues to evolve daily, companies that prioritize early talent development will be better positioned to capture future business opportunities and enhance their resilience to risks.

To achieve this, we believe it is necessary to raise the baseline of quantum literacy, in addition to the talent development efforts already underway for DX and AI integration.

This seminar aims to provide insights that can be applied to your company's talent strategy and training programs. We will explore the transformative impact of quantum technology on society and industry, discuss the types of talent required, and examine the roles companies should play. Our discussion will include case studies of industry-academia-government collaboration and updates on the development of quantum skill standards.
