Unlocking quantum computing (QC) for industrial applications requires more than just technological advancements—it also demands viable business models and a well-functioning ecosystem. Our research focuses on the economic utilization of QC, supporting companies on the user side in developing strategic business models while also identifying new value creation opportunities for providers of QC hardware and software.

To achieve this, we combine established business model frameworks with the unique technical and organizational requirements of QC. Our goal is to help businesses seamlessly integrate QC technologies while developing sustainable monetization strategies for QC providers. Key focus areas include interoperability, standardization, and the design of new platform and service models.

A thriving QC ecosystem requires close collaboration among all key stakeholders—from technology providers and industrial enterprises to research institutions and investors. Our research contributes to unlocking QC’s economic potential and preparing businesses strategically for the quantum era.
