At EY in Stockholm, experts, researchers, and industry leaders gathered to explore how quantum technologies are set to transform health and life sciences. The event “Navigating the Quantum Landscape in Health and Life Sciences” highlighted the potential of quantum sensing, computing, and communication to revolutionize diagnostics, drug discovery, and patient care.

With Sweden’s strong position in innovation, life sciences, and quantum research, the country is well placed to turn this potential into real-world applications. From tools that improve diagnosis and treatment to simulations accelerating drug discovery, the opportunities are immense. The momentum is driven by both industry pull and technology push — though speakers also reminded us of the need to prepare for new cyber challenges that will inevitably follow.

The program featured inspiring talks by Jeanette Edblad, Ebba Carbonnier, Gopal Karemore, Mathias Ekman, and Sofia Burendahl, and a showcase of five concrete use-cases from Albin Boman, Jonas Gårding, Val Zwiller, Anders Sjögren, and Lars Tornberg. Their cases in diagnostics, data analysis, simulations, and drug discovery sparked thought-provoking discussions on what these technologies can bring to patients and healthcare systems.

A special thanks to all speakers, and toThomas Straumits and Rohita Juggernauth Steffensen for outstanding co-hosting and teamwork. The energy in the room made one thing clear — the transformation has begun, and Sweden is ready to play a leading role.
