IQM from Finland is selling more quantum computers than any other quantum company in the world. Planet A Foods from Germany is replacing cacao with climate resilient European crops so they are disrupting one of the most vulnerable and deforestation linked supply chains in the world.

Why this clip

Concrete examples of European tech leadership with specific companies and bold claims (selling more quantum computers than anyone, disrupting cacao supply chains). The contrast between quantum computing and food creates an interesting narrative about European innovation breadth.

70% of copper is now low-grade requiring massive resource extraction

A panelist explains the mining industry's resource intensity problem, revealing that 70% of copper is now locked in low-grade ore. This means mining companies must move exponentially more rock, water, electricity and chemicals to extract the same amount of copper, creating an urgent need for innovative mining technologies.

Plants can literally mine metals from underground and harvest them naturally

Dr. Isabella Fandrych explains three innovative biotechnology approaches to mineral extraction that could revolutionize mining. She covers protein engineering using magnetic structures to extract lithium and magnesium from waste streams, and describes how certain plants can naturally accumulate and harvest nickel through their root systems.
