Quantum computing is reaching a turning point, moving from research breakthroughs into technologies with real economic and societal impact. In this session, Winfried Hensinger explores what it takes for quantum innovation to scale in the real world, using Brighton and Sussex as a live case study of how regions can build globally significant technology ecosystems. Drawing on recent economic analysis, growing government engagement, and accelerating industry momentum, he shows how local strengths can translate into national and international opportunity. Rather than focusing on technology alone, this talk looks at the wider conditions needed for success. Infrastructure, skills, investment, policy, and collaboration all play a role in turning quantum promise into practical value. Winfried highlights why coordinated regional approaches are becoming essential as quantum moves closer to commercial reality. This is a forward-looking talk for anyone interested in how frontier technologies emerge, scale, and create impact, and what lessons other regions, industries, and leaders can take from what is happening in Brighton and Sussex right now.
