In this interactive workshop, Jan Sonck (Quantum Circle) and Eric Michiels (IBM) take participants beyond the quantum hype and into concrete use cases focused on health tech.

From drug discovery and molecular simulation to diagnostics, treatment planning, hospital optimisation and complex health data, quantum computing could open new ways to tackle problems that are difficult for classical computers to solve efficiently.

Combining Jan's experience in making quantum technology relevant for businesses with Eric's technical expertise in quantum computing, the workshop offers a practical exploration of both the opportunities and the limitations of this emerging technology.

No quantum expertise is required. Participants will explore healthcare-related use cases, discuss where quantum could create real value, distinguish realistic opportunities from longer-term ambitions, and consider how organisations can start preparing today.

The central question is simple: where could quantum computing make a meaningful difference in healthcare, and what will it take to turn that potential into real value for patients?
