MWC Barcelona 2025 proved to be a pivotal moment for quantum technologies, with QCentroid at the forefront of transforming theoretical quantum concepts into practical business applications. Our team experienced four days of intense engagement, strategic partnerships, and real-time demonstrations that showcased how quantum computing is rapidly transitioning from speculative interest to concrete implementation strategies.

Day One: The Strategic Shift

The opening day at MWC25 demonstrated a marked evolution in how businesses approach quantum technologies. Conversations have notably shifted from exploratory curiosity to strategic planning, with corporations demonstrating sophisticated understanding of quantum’s potential business impact. Companies are now actively incorporating quantum solutions into their technology roadmaps rather than viewing them as distant possibilities.

Our participation in Telefónica’s “Quantum Technologies and Public-Private Collaboration” session highlighted how strategic partnerships accelerate quantum adoption across industries. Simultaneously, our contribution to the startup session “Turning Breakthroughs into Business: Deep Tech Disruptors” explored the critical pathway from scientific innovation to market-ready solutions.

QUORUM: Making Quantum Happen Through Public-Private Power Moves

While showcasing our platform at MWC, we also advanced the QUORUM initiative—a CDTI-funded program quietly transforming Spain’s quantum ecosystem. Instead of just talking about quantum possibilities, QUORUM lets us actually build them.

At MWC, this meant getting practical:

  • Rolling out our integration solutions that connect quantum computing to real industrial challenges and energy transition needs
  • Putting quantum algorithms through their paces with actual benchmarking for sustainability use cases
  • Breaking down barriers to quantum access with our Quantum-as-a-Service (QaaS) approach that works for both businesses and public organizations

QUORUM isn’t just another government program – it’s our accelerator for turning quantum theories into tools that tackle sustainability, climate, and digital transformation challenges. No fluff, just results

Day Two: Quantum at the Intersection of Public and Private Sectors

The second day centered on strengthening crucial relationships between quantum innovation and industrial strategy. Our partnership with Telefónica and the Bizkaia Provincial Council demonstrated how the QCentroid Platform serves as an essential bridge between advanced quantum computing capabilities and practical business applications.

Our CEO, Carlos Kuchkovsky, joined industry leaders from Banco Sabadell, Kimera Technologies, and Qbeast to address the challenges deep tech founders face when transforming scientific breakthroughs into viable business models. The evening concluded with an exclusive preview of our AI capabilities at the CMS and Moody’s event, setting the stage for our upcoming major announcement.

Day Three: Demonstrating Real-World Quantum Applications

Day three elevated our presence from discussion to demonstration. Rather than presenting theoretical concepts, we conducted a live demonstration of our AI assistant at the Quantum Flagship stage. This interactive session invited audience participation, with attendees suggesting industry challenges for real-time quantum use case identification.

When an audience member proposed “batteries manufacturing” as a test case, our AI assistant immediately generated relevant applications for materials research and catalyzers. This practical demonstration illustrated how quantum-powered AI can deliver immediate value across sectors—emphasizing results over promises.

The Quantum Flagship event drew an impressive cross-section of stakeholders, from public officials and economists to industry leaders and companies exploring quantum integration. Concurrently, we unveiled customized features for Bank Sabadell’s committee, further demonstrating our commitment to developing sector-specific quantum solutions.

Day Four: Engaging the Next Generation of Quantum Talent

The final day brought a fresh perspective as university students visited our quantum technologies spaces. These interactions provided valuable insights for our upcoming developer tools while reinforcing the importance of nurturing young talent in the quantum ecosystem.

A visit from the Secretaría de Estado de Digitalización e Inteligencia Artificial (SEDIA) highlighted the critical role of public-private collaboration in advancing quantum initiatives. This governmental engagement underscores the strategic importance of quantum technologies at the national level.

Looking Forward: From Exploration to Implementation

As MWC Barcelona 2025 concluded, one thing became abundantly clear: Quantum computing has moved beyond theoretical discussions and entered the phase of practical implementation. Businesses are no longer asking “if” quantum will impact their operations but “how” and “when” to integrate quantum advantages into their strategic planning.

QCentroid stands ready to facilitate this transition, providing the expertise and platform capabilities needed to transform quantum potential into business reality. The connections established and demonstrations conducted at MWC25 have positioned us to accelerate quantum adoption across industries in the coming year.

The quantum future isn’t just approaching—it’s here, and it’s time for businesses to take action. Schedule a call with us, and let’s move together.
