The Quantum Horizon: Applications, Readiness and What Finance Must Do Next

Quantum computing is no longer a distant theoretical promise - leading institutions are already running portfolio optimisation, derivatives pricing, and compliance simulations that classical computers cannot match for speed or accuracy. But readiness across the industry remains deeply uneven, the talent gap is acute, and the post-quantum cryptography migration clock is ticking loudly. This session brings together pioneers to map where quantum technology genuinely stands in financial services - and what it will take to move from early advantage to industry-wide transformation.
