Fernando Gonzalez-Zalba | Quantum Motion | Future of Computing Conference

Over the past few decades, we witnessed an extraordinary digital revolution that transformed our lives in unimaginable ways. This transformation was made possible by the exponential growth in the power and capabilities of microchips. These tiny wonders revolutionized industries, enabled groundbreaking technologies, and unlocked new possibilities across the globe. As we looked ahead, it became clear that our digital aspirations were expanding exponentially. To unlock the full potential of digitalization in areas such as mobility, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), and beyond, we needed computers that were not only more powerful but also energy-efficient, compact, and sustainable.

The Future of Computing Conference, which took place at Berlin's renowned Estrel Convention Centre, served as a unique platform for leading experts, researchers, startups, and innovators to gather and discuss the challenges and opportunities in creating the next generation of microchips - from new materials for legacy chips to new approaches such as quantum computing. By exploring sustainable production methods, groundbreaking materials, and disruptive technologies, we aimed to pave the way for a future where computing power meets environmental responsibility.
