Invested by Europe: Why Quantum Computing is Crucial for Europe

Quantum computing is not about making today’s computers faster. It represents a fundamentally different way of solving problems — one that could unlock breakthroughs that are currently out of reach.In this episode of Invested by Europe, Nikolay Dimov, a European Investment Bank investment officer, explains what makes quantum computing different from classical computing, why its impact on everyday life will be indirect but significant, and how it could accelerate innovation in areas such as medicine, energy and advanced materials.The discussion looks at quantum from an investment and strategic perspective: why early, patient capital matters in a deeply capital‑intensive sector, how Europe can remain in the global race, and why quantum computing is not only a technological capability but also a geopolitical lever linked to Europe’s strategic independence.Invested by Europe explores the forces shaping the European economy — and how long‑term investment is helping Europe prepare for the technologies that will define tomorrow.
