During a public panel discussion during the Q-Shift 2040 conference, a high level board discussed the future of research on quantum technologies and artificial intelligence in Germany. This panel took a forward-looking attitude, but also an honest and accurate one.

• Dorothee Bär, German Federal Minister for Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR).
• Alexandra-Gwyn Paetz, Head of Technological Sovereignty and Innovation at BMFTR.
• Heyo Kroemer, Head of the Charite Berlin.
• Miriam Meckel, Professor in St Gallen and Executive Chairwoman of ADA.
• Carsten Polenz, Head of the Quantum Team at SAP.
• Jens Eisert, professor at Freie Universität Berlin.

The panel has been wonderfully moderated by Janosch Delcker of the Deutschlandfunk.
