Meet the workgroups driving it all

Meet the workgroups driving it all

The Quantum Circle is structured around 5 dynamic workgroups, each bringing a unique lens to the quantum challenge:

Business workgroup

Business workgroup

From hype to impact: turning quantum into business value

This workgroup engages directly with the market to accelerate enterprise adoption. We explore concrete industry challenges, translate them into quantum use cases, and co-develop services with real commercial potential. Members collaborate with startups, corporates and public institutions to turn ideas into pilots and pilots into scalable solutions.

Technology workgroup

Technology workgroup

Bringing emerging tech to the real world

This group tracks emerging hardware and software developments and translates them into practical applications. From quantum algorithms to middleware and hybrid solutions, this workgroup bridges the gap between cutting-edge technology and real-world feasibility.

Research workgroup

Research workgroup

Making research relevant

This workgroup filters through the noise, curates the most promising scientific insights, and helps connect researchers with organizations hungry for innovation. It also facilitates joint projects and promotes Belgian excellence in international collaborations.

Society workgroup

Society workgroup

Quantum is coming but is the society ready?

This group prepares Belgium for the quantum shift by raising awareness, advising policymakers, and making sure the quantum transition is inclusive, human-centric and well understood. We don’t just ask “can we do this?”, we also ask “should we?”

Ecosystems workgroup

Ecosystems workgroup

Connecting the dots, locally and globally

This group strengthens Belgium’s position in the international quantum landscape. It facilitates collaboration between government bodies, clusters, incubators and European partners. By aligning policies and resources, this group ensures we’re not just building tech but we’re building the infrastructure to support it.
