Quantum Transfer Leadership Seminar

Quantum Transfer Leadership

The part-time intensive course ‘Quantum Transfer Leadership’ supports companies as they enter the field of quantum technologies. Through a flexible blended-learning format, participants acquire skills in the areas of quantum computing, quantum communication and quantum sensing, 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 are presented, discussed and further refined collaboratively.

Entry requirements

The training programme is being run as part of a funded project and is primarily aimed at people in employment who live and/or work in Bavaria. This includes employees of companies of all sizes as well as those who exercise autonomy.
Please note that, due to the funding conditions, not all interested parties can be considered as eligible participants. This applies in particular to civil servants, members of the armed forces and employees of certain public sector organisations. Participation may still be possible in these cases under certain circumstances.
If you are unsure whether you meet the funding criteria, or if you are interested in taking part, please do not hesitate to contact us. We would be happy to discuss your individual options for participation with you.
