Europe's quantum computing future hinges on the development of talent hubs, rather than just achieving technical milestones. The industry's progress relies on a diverse range of experts, including physicists, electrical engineers, and software architects, making it a highly interdisciplinary field. As the demand for quantum computing expertise grows, the availability of skilled professionals will become a key factor in determining which regions will lead the way. The creation of talent hubs will enable collaboration, innovation, and knowledge sharing, driving progress in quantum computing. With the increasing urgency of post-quantum cryptography planning, the development of a robust quantum workforce is crucial1. This underscores the need for strategic investment in education and training programs to support the growth of quantum talent hubs, ultimately determining the region's competitiveness in the quantum computing landscape.
