Emerging quantum technologies present unique opportunities to transform operations and build resilience in an increasingly complex global landscape. The challenge lies not only in harnessing these technologies but also in identifying the strategies and enablers that will unlock their full potential. By exploring actionable pathways, organizations can drive innovation, enhance precision and secure a competitive advantage through quantum advancements.The World Economic Forum and Accenture have been collaborating through the Quantum Application Hub and Industry Track to accelerate the adoption of quantum technologies across industries and inform policy development. This report comprises the insights of manufacturing experts, technology leaders and policy stakeholders, gathered through roundtables, interviews and cross-sector dialogues. It highlights early case studies, readiness pathways and key enablers, from policy and standards to talent development, that will shape the future of quantum in industrial ecosystems.We extend our sincere gratitude to all contributors to this report. We hope it serves as a valuable resource for decision-makers seeking to navigate the quantum frontier and unlock new opportunities for advanced manufacturing and supply chain systems.Kiva Allgood Managing Director, World Economic ForumAdam BurdenSenior Managing Director, AccentureKris TimmermansSenior Managing Director, AccentureJeremy Jurgens Managing Director,
