Abstract

Quantum technologies hold enormous potential, yet organizations remain hesitant to engage due toseveral barriers to adoption. This report investigates how collaboration between stakeholders canaddress those barriers through a literature review and semi-structured expert interviews conductedwithin the Dutch quantum ecosystem. Given the uncertainty, differing stakeholder values, andcommunication challenges, Future Value Mapping (FVM) is introduced. This foresight method provides astructured, value-driven path to quantum development and is demonstrated using two showcases.
