Building Belgium’s Quantum Future: The Power of Ecosystem Mapping
How DataScouts supports the Quantum Circle with ecosystem insights
Quantum technology is transforming industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, healthcare and telecom worldwide. To achieve a lasting and sustainable impact, a strong ecosystem is essential, as no single organization can achieve this transformation alone. While other countries have been investing for some time, Belgium needs to act strategically to strengthen its position in the quantum sector.
Quantum Circle, a Belgian network of stakeholders in quantum technology, aims to accelerate the development and adoption of quantum technologies. To support this process, DataScouts conducted a comprehensive ecosystem mapping, mapping the structure, dynamics and growth potential of the Belgian and international quantum ecosystem.
Using the DataScouts platform, an in-depth analysis was made, based on a proven methodology that is also used in other sectors. This mapping included:
- A comprehensive stakeholder analysis of public and private players, including leading universities, research groups, existing communities in Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Canada, as well as the most successful startups and investors.
- An analysis of the maturity of the market and the health of the ecosystem, looking at investment rounds, investment amounts and their evolution.
- A detailed overview of the roles and interrelationships of all actors, providing insight into partnerships and strategic growth opportunities.
In conclusion, the dynamic nature of the ecosystem mapping allows Quantum Circle to monitor developments within the industry and make strategic decisions based on current data. The continuous monitoring by DataScouts provides valuable insights that Quantum Circle uses for member communication, policy advocacy and strengthening the Belgian quantum ecosystem.
This case illustrates how ecosystem mapping with DataScouts helps organizations to gain strategic insights and strengthen their role within innovative sectors. By analyzing market data and network dynamics, initiatives such as Quantum Circle can operate in a more targeted way and optimally respond to new opportunities within the rapidly evolving quantum technologies.
