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.
