With the 2030 SDG agenda far from completion, quantum technology could be the breakthrough innovation needed to make significant strides in the remaining six years before the 2030 deadline. The World Economic Forum’s Quantum Economy Network1 has been working with the global quantum ecosystem to advance the responsible innovation and commercialization of quantum technology, having set the goal of “developing a sustainable future with and for quantum computing technology” in the world’s first set of governance principles2 for the technology. Extending these principles into practice, the Quantum Economy Blueprint3 was released earlier this year, outlining multiple approaches to including sustainability building blocks in national and regional strategies. Aligned with our goals of building this ecosystem further, this report, Quantum for Society: Meeting the Ambition of the SDGs, offers evidence of quantum technologies as a catalyst for sustainability. While it is not an exhaustive exploration of all possible futures, it provides a thorough analysis, real-world examples and guidance for global leaders using quantum advances to tackle planetary-scale challenges. The report aims to raise awareness about the transformative potential of quantum solutions for society. By focusing on quantum computing, quantum sensing and quan
