Day 2 ends with a keynote by Dr Ralf Wintergerst (@Bitkom). „This summit shows the real, practical impact of AI and quantum computing — progress we couldn’t see just a few years ago. Moving this field forward will require investment, energy, patience, and above all, new ideas.”

@CybAgBund @Capgemini Adrian Schmidt, Research Scientist at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, highlights the knowledge gap in quantum readiness: “Awareness differs widely – while big companies prepare, many smaller firms still lack the knowledge to implement quantum technologies.” #quantumsummit25

@CybAgBund Julian van Velzen, Global CTO Future of Technology @Capgemini, sees great potential for quantum sensors in defence, from navigation without GPS to mapping magnetic fields. Yet he cautions: lab success doesn’t equal deployment – real impact may take a decade. #quantumsummit25

On the Quantum Impact Stage, Prof Dr Jürgen Freudenberger (@CybAgBund), Adrian Schmidt (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) & Julian van Velzen (@Capgemini) discuss #quantum in defence – a double-edged qubit with both opportunities and risks. #quantumsummit25 #AIDAQ

“AI is not just an efficiency tool, and it is certainly not hype — it is here to stay“ she states at the end of her keynote. “Collaboration multiplies impact. AI’s potential goes far beyond what any single company can achieve.”

On Vision Dome stage, Nicole Dreyer-Langlet (@Airbus) is speaking about the transformative role of #AI in #Aerospace. “Aviation has always been about revolutions — each one transforming how humanity moves, connects, and dreams.”

Dr Lars Schwabe, CTO @lufthansa Industry Solutions, highlights why AI strategies must adapt quickly: “AI strategies built today might be outdated in a year. To succeed, enterprises need approaches that keep pace with innovation while solving tangible use cases.” #aidatasummit25

On the AI in Action Stage, Dr Lars Schwabe, CTO at @lufthansa Industry Solutions, shares lessons from real-world projects: why #AI use cases are not the same as an AI strategy – and what it takes to scale AI successfully in enterprises. #AIDAQ #aidatasummit25

“Every LLM upgrade is like swapping the engine mid-flight — better in some ways, worse in others, but always risky if it’s business-critical”, Huerta says. “Owning your AI destiny means building private AI — the enterprise brain must be under your control.”

Sergio Gago Huerta (CTO at @cloudera) is giving insights into Driving Scalable AI Adoption on the Vision Dome Stage of AIDAQ 2025. #aidatasummit2025 #quantumsummit2025

“The four faces of AI risk are loss of control, loss of data sovereignty, biased behavior, and malicious use“, he continues on Vision Dome Stage. #aidatasummit2025 #quantumsummit2025

“The real danger of AI is not a Terminator-style apocalypse — it’s the quiet, everyday failures already unfolding in our world.” Enrico Gabriele (STACKIT) states as a point on Vision Dome stage.

Dr Wadim Wormsbecher, Research Scientist at Bundesdruckerei: “In theory, quantum communication is 100% secure – in practice it’s much more difficult. By emulating networks inside an ion trap, we can build a ‘quantum twin’ to explore the future quantum internet.” #quantumsummit25

On the Quantum Stack Stage, Dr Wadim Wormsbecher, Research Scientist at Bundesdruckerei, speaks on the future of the quantum internet – and how quantum communication and secure networking could transform digital infrastructures. #quantumsummit25

“Financing in Europe is fragmented. The advantage of the EIB and EIF is that we act across the whole continent” Nicola Beer says. “Our involvement often creates a signaling effect that attracts private money. This is crucial as public funds alone cannot deliver the scale needed.”

Dr Christoph Peylo states: ”Europe must stop thinking in national silos and pool resources for a European solution. Brussels should focus on building a strong, united Europe, while industry drives technology. Only then can we create a better world.”

Nicola Beer (European Investment Bank), Dr Michael Förtsch (Qant), Dr. Christoph Peylo (@BoschGlobal) and @ViolaRoberto are discussing investments in AI and Quantum Infrastructure to empower europe‘s future.
