GP Bullhound is proud to announce the release of our latest report: Quantum Technology – Investing at the Inflection Point. Quantum technology has recently transitioned from the realm of science fiction to a field on the verge of transforming the world. In this report, we dissect this emerging technology and explain why now is the time to take it seriously. From an investor's perspective, we also discuss how to navigate the quantum market, providing insights to help identify the companies poised to lead this technological wave and the challenges they may face along the way. Download the full report here! https://lnkd.in/dMnA9BRV Callum Stewart, PhD  at GP Bullhound stated: "As investors start to recognise the groundbreaking potential of quantum technologies and are beginning to allocate accordingly, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to investing. As with every developing technology, each part of the value chain differs in its return, time horizon, and risk profiles. For investors looking to allocate a small pocket of capital to capture the broad expansion of the market, we suggest looking at hardware-agnostic investments like infrastructure software or supporting systems that are driving value creation today. Those with longer timeframes and more aggressive deployment plans should consider the underlying hardware or end application software for investment." #GPBullhound #QuantumTechnology #InvestmentOpportunities #TechInvesting #InnovationReport
