The discussion explores the key considerations for developing an IP roadmap that supports both early-stage protection and long-term competitiveness in one of today’s fastest-evolving technology fields. 

The episode also looks ahead to the EU Quantum Act, with Robert Harrison sharing his expectations on how the upcoming legislation could shape Europe’s quantum innovation ecosystem, influence research and commercialisation, and support the development of a globally competitive quantum industry.
