Exclusive CxO Strategy Workshop
/ TRANSFORMING PRODUCT-CENTRIC INDUSTRIES WITH AI & QUANTUM COMPUTING
October 27, 2026
Arlesheim, Switzerland
/ New Strategic Opportunities for European Leadership
Quantum computing patent activity has grown nearly twentyfold since the last decade. bluegain and QuantumBasel are convening senior leaders to translate this momentum into strategic choices for products, investment, capability building and cybersecurity readiness.
/ Event Overview
Product-centric industries are entering a new strategic era in which competitive advantage is created across the entire value stream—from customer insight and R&D to product development, operations, sales and service.
Artificial Intelligence is transforming how organisations design products, automate decisions, personalise experiences and optimise operations. Quantum technologies extend this potential across simulation, optimisation, material discovery, cybersecurity and complex systems modelling.
This exclusive bluegain × QuantumBasel forum will bring together a curated group of board members, executives and senior leaders from product-centric companies, Mittelstand organisations and regulated industries.
Through strategic keynotes, enterprise use cases and executive discussions, participants will explore how to identify valuable applications, make informed investment choices and build the operating models, governance, partnerships and capabilities required for scalable impact.
