TCW@STEP-QuantumTransferLeadership

Quantum technologies are regarded as one of the key technologies of the coming decades. They open up new possibilities in the fields of quantum computing, quantum communication and quantum sensing, and will be key drivers of innovation in mobility, manufacturing, logistics and IT security in the future. The new funding project ‘TCW@STEP Quantum Transfer Leadership’ equips specialists and managers to recognise the potential of these technologies at an early stage, apply it to their organisations and actively shape innovation processes.

Course structure

The part-time intensive course ‘Quantum Transfer Leadership’ is designed as a ten-week continuing professional development programme and combines scientific fundamentals with practical application examples. Through a flexible blended-learning format, participants acquire skills in the fields of quantum computing, quantum communication and quantum sensor technology, whilst simultaneously developing their own transfer project for their company.
 

• The course begins by contextualising the strategic importance of quantum technologies and current technological and economic developments.
• Building on this, participants learn about relevant fields of application and identify potential uses for quantum technologies within their professional context.
• The focus then shifts to development approaches, quantum algorithms and modern development platforms, before the practical application is explored in greater depth through discussions with experts from industry and research.
• Further key areas include the integration of quantum technology solutions into existing business processes, as well as the development of concrete implementation and piloting concepts.
• The course concludes with the ‘Ingolstadt 2030 Future Workshop’, in which the projects developed will be presented, discussed and further refined collaboratively.
   

Methodologically, the intensive course combines interactive online sessions, practical discussions, peer-learning formats, real-world case studies and a concluding face-to-face workshop. All learning materials and collaboration tools are provided digitally via Moodle and Microsoft Teams to enable flexible participation alongside work commitments.

Stay tuned!

The first pilot run of Quantum Transfer Leadership will start in November 2026 and will run for ten weeks.
A particular advantage is that participation is free of charge as part of the project funding. This offers an exclusive opportunity to develop relevant skills in a practical setting and to actively contribute to organisational transformation. The specific seminar dates will be announced shortly. We will inform you as soon as the dates and registration details have been finalised, and will keep you up to date on all further developments in the project.
