Quantum computing is no longer a theoretical threat – It’s a strategic reality.
In this episode, originally produced by The Quantum Space, we dive into one of Europe’s most pressing digital challenges: how to secure trust, sovereignty, and competitiveness in the post-quantum era.
Host Anna Keller speaks with Steve Atkins, Publisher and Editor of The Quantum Space and co-author together with Wibu-Systems of the whitepaper Sovereign by Design: How Europe Can Secure Its Digital Future in the Post-Quantum Age. The conversation builds on the high-level expert roundtable moderated by Atkins at Wibu-Systems’ INNO DAYS, bringing together voices from academia, semiconductor manufacturing, enterprise software, and cybersecurity.
Together, they explore:
The episode also features insights from the INNO DAYS roundtable, including perspectives from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Infineon Technologies, SAP, and Wibu-Systems, highlighting how post-quantum readiness, secure licensing, and trusted execution environments intersect in real industrial deployments.
This episode reframes quantum security not just as a cybersecurity challenge, but as a core pillar of Europe’s digital and economic sovereignty, where trust is not promised, but engineered.
