In this episode of Blond & Quantum, Eva sits down with André König — Co-founder & CEO of Global Quantum Intelligence — for a high-level, honest breakdown of the real geopolitical landscape of quantum technology.

From the accelerating race between the US and China, to surprising emerging players like the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Singapore, André shares what governments are quietly planning behind closed doors — and why quantum has become a national security priority around the globe.

Together, they dive into:

• the global quantum race and shifting power dynamics
• how different regions invest (and why Europe is struggling)
• national security and the role of government in quantum
• early industry adopters and what’s actually happening beyond POCs
• where disruption will hit first — and how executives can prepare
• why companies that ignore quantum today may not survive the next 3–5 years

Whether you’re an executive, investor, policymaker, or simply quantum-curious, this episode offers a rare, unfiltered view into the forces shaping the future of the quantum industry.
