Quantum Readiness Series: What Quantum Means for the Energy Sector

The energy sector is changing rapidly. Digitalisation, decarbonisation, and the drive for greater grid resilience are reshaping how energy is generated, controlled, and transported. As these shifts take hold, quantum technologies are beginning to move from research programmes into real-world deployments, with genuine implications for how the sector monitors infrastructure, measures emissions, and builds long-term resilience. The question is not whether quantum will touch the energy sector, but whether the sector is equipped to embrace the changes it will bring.

In this Quantum Readiness Series webinar, we look at the potential for quantum to deliver significant benefits for the energy system as it digitalises and decarbonises. Crucially, we explore the barriers and risks to deployment, and how these might be overcome through technological innovation and regulatory and policy development.

What this webinar covers

Our expert presentations will set the scene before a panel discussion and audience Q&A. Topics will include:

Why it matters

Mission 5 of the National Quantum Strategy Missiosn has identified energy as one of four priority sectors for quantum sensing, alongside transport, telecoms, and defence. The government has acknowledged that individual sectors and businesses face too much risk to fund the bridge to adoption alone, which is exactly why convening the right people now matters.

Who should attend

This session is for energy companies, technology providers, investors, and policymakers working at the intersection of quantum and energy infrastructure. Whether you are exploring what quantum could do for your organisation or already developing solutions, this webinar will sharpen your understanding of where the market is heading.

What is techUK’s quantum readiness series?

As quantum technologies move from concept, development and towards deployment, it is critical that the UK’s leading industries and sectors are ready to realise the potential these new technologies can offer.

As such, techUK will be hosting a series of events and webinars showcasing how these technologies are starting to deliver impact across critical industries and sectors in the UK. We will spotlight real-world impact, emphasising the imminent need for market readiness.

Technology and Innovation programme activities

techUK bring members, industry stakeholders, and UK Government together to champion emerging technologies as an integral part of the UK economy. We help to create an environment where innovation can flourish, helping our members to build relationships, showcase their technology, and grow their business. Visit the programme page here.
