The CHAMP-ION project took part in the Optica Quantum Industry Summit, with Mohssen Moridi representing the project and presenting its latest work to an audience spanning the quantum technology ecosystem.The summit brought together researchers, foundries, government agencies, and industry stakeholders, creating an important environment for discussions about the future of quantum technologies and the challenges involved in bringing them to scale.Mohssen's presentation contributed to conversations around the development of technologies that can move beyond laboratory demonstrations and towards scalable, manufacturable, and system-compatible solutions.One of the key messages emerging from the event was that progress in quantum technology requires more than advances in individual components. Building a successful quantum ecosystem also depends on manufacturing capabilities, integration strategies, supply chains, system-level compatibility, and collaboration between research and industry.The discussions at the summit highlighted the growing need for clearer pathways from innovation to application. Connecting research outcomes with industrial capabilities and market requirements will be essential to accelerating the adoption of quantum technologies.For CHAMP-ION, the event offered an opportunity to engage directly with stakeholders who will play an important role in the development of Europe's future quantum technology landscape.The project will continue working across the research, industrial, and public sectors to contribute to the development of a stronger and more scalable European quantum ecosystem.
