Quantum Technology – A billion pound opportunity for Scotland

This vision paper, published by Technology Scotland, sets out the opportunity for Scotland and makes the case for future investment and strategic intervention that could develop our quantum sector into a billion pound industry by 2030.

The nine recommendations outlined in this paper are:

• Developing a workforce for the future
• Supporting business growth
• Growing Scotland’s position
• Developing Scotland’s cluster

With quantum technologies (and the adjacent sub-sector of photonics) getting significant attention at both UK and Scottish Government levels, this paper will provide a framework for future decision making and a focal point for Scotland’s quantum ambitions over the coming years, helping secure Scotland’s place in the global arena.
