Tech4Good: The Future of Technology and how Technologies are Shaping our Future

Taguspark - Knowledge City, Oeiras (in-person & online)

Quantum physics, once the domain of abstract theory, is now set to revolutionize a wide range of industries and drive sustainable innovation. As we harness the power of quantum technologies, their potential to transform science, industry, and society becomes more evident. This event explores how quantum physics is poised to reshape everything from computing and communication to materials science and energy systems, making critical contributions toward achieving global sustainability goals.

Quantum computing, with its ability to solve complex problems exponentially faster than classical computers, will revolutionize fields such as drug discovery, climate modeling, and supply chain optimization. Quantum-enhanced sensors and communication systems will enable unprecedented precision and security, driving advances in healthcare, environmental monitoring, and cybersecurity.

One of the most exciting aspects of quantum physics is its potential to contribute directly to sustainability. Quantum technologies could help optimize energy grids, increase the efficiency of renewable energy sources, and accelerate the development of new materials that are essential for a circular economy. Quantum algorithms could dramatically improve simulations of chemical reactions, enabling the discovery of new catalysts for clean energy production and carbon capture technologies.

This event brings together scientists, industry leaders, and policymakers to explore how quantum physics will shape the future. Participants will gain insights into how quantum technologies will unlock breakthroughs that will fuel sustainable industrial practices and contribute to a greener, more resilient society. By leveraging quantum innovations, we can drive progress in both the technological and environmental realms, creating a future where cutting-edge science aligns with the urgent need for sustainability.
