Health and healthcare systems are confronting a growing set of pressures - from rising chronic diseases to cost escalation, workforce shortages, persistent inequities, and increasingly complex data and cyber risks. At the same time, quantum technologies are reaching a level of maturity that makes their impact increasingly tangible.

Energy systems worldwide are facing mounting pressure. Rapid electrification, rising power demand from AI, growing cyber threats and the complexity of integrating renewables are reshaping how energy networks are planned and operated. As systems become more interconnected, traditional digital tools increasingly struggle to handle the scale and uncertainty of modern energy challenges. This is where quantum technologies are beginning to open new possibilities.

Quantum and Materials technologies enjoy a reciprocal relationship. On one hand, the deployment of quantum technologies such as advance modeling, simulations and powerful computing can accelerate materials discovery and process optimization. on the other hand, materials systems are essential for quantum infrastructure and for the establishment of a quantum economy. This working group explores how collaboration between the two sectors can increase mutually beneficial effectiveness.
