Disclaimer: This report is based on qualitative analysis of anonymized interviews conducted with stakeholders across the Nordic quantum technology ecosystem. While care has been taken to ensure a balanced and accurate representation of perspectives, the findings may reflect inherent limitations of qualitative research, including potential representation bias due to the selection and availability of interviewees.
The views and interpretations expressed in this report are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official positions or policies of NordForsk or any affiliated institutions.
