Quantum technology holds the potential to be a source of future industrial competitiveness, with research and development and social implementation accelerating globally. To further accelerate industrialization, not only technology development but also the cultivation of human resources to support it and active corporate involvement are essential. While quantum technology is evolving daily, companies that engage in human resource development early can secure future business opportunities and enhance their ability to respond to risks.

To achieve this, we believe it is necessary to raise the level of quantum literacy, in addition to conventional human resource development for DX and AI utilization.

In this seminar, looking ahead to the transformations quantum technology will bring to society and industry, we will discuss and share information on what kind of human resources will be needed and what role companies themselves should play. We will incorporate examples of initiatives from industry, government, and academia, as well as trends in quantum skill standard development, aiming to gain insights that can be utilized in your company's human resource strategy and education.
