This masterclass, presented by GQI, is designed to provide a comprehensive and practical understanding of quantum computing for attendees at Quantum.Tech Rotterdam. The session begins with "Understand," a 30-minute overview that demystifies the current state of quantum computing and offers practical advice on how to get started. Participants will gain an unbiased perspective on where to focus their efforts, identify potential partners, and grasp what's truly achievable in the near future. This foundational segment aims to equip attendees with the initial clarity needed to navigate the quantum landscape effectively.

Following the initial overview, the masterclass delves into "Assess," a 60-minute deep dive into GQI's proprietary "Impactometer" methodology for identifying quantum computing use cases across various industries. This segment will break down the methodology, provide real-world examples, and share templates, enabling attendees to clearly envision near, medium, and long-term applications for quantum technology within their own contexts. The final 30-minute segment, "Act," focuses on practical implementation, guiding participants on how to secure stakeholder buy-in and develop a quantum strategy that extends beyond mere use cases, encompassing education and methodology. Attendees will leave with a take-home project charter to articulate their quantum computing initiatives. The masterclass concludes with an "Inquiry" session, where audience questions can be submitted to a dedicated GQI email for comprehensive answers.

o Understand: An overview of quantum computing maturity, what is - pragmatically - possible today. And tomorrow. With practical tips on how to get started. Outcome: An unbiased understanding of where to start, who to partner with and what is possible (30 min)

o Assess: GQI Impactometer - our proprietary QC use case methodology, broken down by industry. We will explain the methodology, share examples and the templates. Outcome: A clear idea on near, medium and long term use cases (60 min)

o Act: How to gain stakeholder buy in; quantum computing beyond use cases from education to methodology. Outcome: A take-home project charter to state your quantum case (30 min)

o Inquiry: Audience Q&A to be send to a dedicated GQI email
