Roles of quantum ecosystem actors: Opening innovation paths from technology to impacts
article
This paper studies the co-evolution of quantum technology ecosystems across three European regions: the Basque Country, Finland, and The Netherlands. By examining the roles of ecosystem actors during the innovation path from research to commercialisation, the study aims to understand how these roles facilitate the emergence and development of quantum technologies. Using a comparative multi-case study approach, the study identifies key characteristics, collaborative dynamics, and challenges within these ecosystems. The findings highlight the importance of different ecosystem types, the significance of individual and organisational roles, and the need for dynamic interaction between technology innovation and industrial adoption. Practical implications are provided for academics, managers, and policymakers to enhance ecosystem development and competitiveness in the field of quantum technologies.
