Keynote

Quantum Computing –
for decision-makers.

Not a physics lecture but a briefing for decision-makers. Roman Weishäupl turns quantum computing into the questions that matter for your organisation: what changes? When does it become relevant? And what should you do now? The examples come from your industry.

In short

In his quantum computing keynote, Roman Weishäupl turns the next computing revolution into business questions – no physics, no equations. He shows what quantum computers do fundamentally differently, when they will realistically become relevant and which steps organisations should take now to become quantum-ready. He prepares the examples individually for the industry and audience of each event.

Ideal for: leadership events, strategy meetings, annual meetings and industry conferences in any sectorUpdated: October 2026

“Roman Weishäupl made quantum computing understandable and inspiring. The topic is now firmly on our radar.”

A business briefing,
not a physics lecture

Quantum computing is usually told as a science story. Roman tells it as a business story – with the questions that belong on every leadership agenda.

Qubits, superposition, equations
What it means for your businessWhat quantum computers do fundamentally differently – and what that means for processes, products and markets.
Off-the-shelf examples
Tailored to your eventYour industry, audience and occasion decide which applications Roman puts centre stage.
Something for ten years from now
What to do todaySome consequences arrive before fully fledged quantum computers do. Asking the right questions now creates the lead later.
Hype or panic
An honest timeline and a clear roadmapWhat already works, what is realistically coming – and which first steps pay off now.

What your audience
takes away

Not a science talk. Roman delivers the perspective leaders need to make decisions – understandable for everyone, relevant for every industry.

Quantum without the equations

What quantum computers do differently – in pictures, not formulas. Enough to join the conversation and make decisions.

What really changes

Why quantum computers aren't just faster computers, but make solutions possible for problems today's machines can't handle.

Your industry in focus

Where quantum becomes relevant for your business – with examples Roman prepares individually for your event.

Opportunities and risks

Where new competitive advantages can emerge – and which risks arrive before the technology itself.

Honest timeline

What already works, what is realistically coming and what is hype – no panic, no science fiction.

Becoming quantum-ready

A clear roadmap: which questions to ask now, and which skills and partners matter.

Quantum computing keynote: frequently asked questions

What is Roman Weishäupl's quantum computing keynote about?

The keynote is a business briefing, not a physics lecture. Roman explains what quantum computers do fundamentally differently, where new opportunities and risks arise for organisations and when the technology will realistically become relevant. He adds a clear roadmap for the first steps – with examples from the industry of each event.

What is a quantum computer, and what can it do better than today's computers?

A quantum computer is not a faster laptop but a fundamentally different kind of machine. It isn't built for the tasks classical computers already handle well – it targets problems they can't solve, such as certain optimisation and simulation tasks. The keynote shows which of these possibilities will matter to organisations.

Why should organisations care about quantum computing now?

Because some consequences arrive before fully fledged quantum computers do – risks as well as opportunities. Understanding today where the technology touches your business lets you plan investments, partnerships and skills in time. Roman draws a clear line between realistic planning and hype.

Who is the keynote for – do I need to know physics?

No, no knowledge of physics is needed. The keynote is aimed at executives, strategy and IT leaders as well as mixed company audiences – in any industry. Roman selects the use cases to fit the industry and audience of your event.

How long is the keynote and in which languages is it available?

The quantum computing keynote runs 45 to 90 minutes, with Q&A on request. Roman delivers it in English or German – for audiences of 8 to 5,000 people, in Germany, across Europe and internationally.

How is the keynote tailored to our event?

After an alignment call and a deep dive, Roman chooses the examples and focus areas that matter for your industry and audience. Ideally, get in touch 6–8 weeks before the event. Quantum computing also pairs well with the AI keynote or the innovation keynote.
