Experts analyze in Barcelona the impact of quantum computing on the aerospace sector
Barcelona hosted a meeting of technology experts to address the challenges and opportunities of quantum computing in the aerospace sector. The event, titled “Quantum Computing and the Aerospace Sector: Opportunities and Challenges”, was organized by the Spanish Association of Technological Companies in Defense, Security, Aeronautics, and Space (TEDAE) together with the Eurecat technology center, as part of the ECO-AERO project and with financial support from the Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI).
The event brought together executives, researchers, and industry professionals interested in understanding the potential of one of today’s most promising technologies, as well as its possible impact on the industry. The current state of quantum development was presented, along with its future applications and the technical and strategic challenges for its adoption.
Speakers included Joan Mas i Albaigès, Digital Science Director at Eurecat and director of CIDAI, and Adán Garriga, head of Eurecat’s Quantum Computing Group, who discussed the implications this technology could have in the industrial and aerospace fields.
The session is part of the ECO-AERO project’s initiatives, which, according to the organizers, aims to promote collaborative innovation, knowledge transfer, and sustainability across the aeronautical value chain. According to the project, ECO-AERO represents Spain’s first aerospace innovation ecosystem, bringing together entities such as Airbus, CATEC, HEGAN, ASIME, TEKNIKER, and FIDAMC, among others.
Its promoters emphasize that integrating advanced technologies—such as additive manufacturing, applied artificial intelligence, and robotics in smart manufacturing—is seen as key to enhancing the competitiveness and sustainability of the Spanish aerospace sector.
