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CTO @lufthansa Industry Solutions, highlights why AI strategies must adapt quickly: “AI strategies built today might be outdated in a year.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
