D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, and the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, recently launched a new go-to-market (“GTM”) growth strategy to accelerate the adoption and deployment of commercial quantum technologies. The GTM move extends D-Wave’s position in commercial quantum computing and is initially focused on key verticals, including logistics, manufacturing, and government. The strategy reinforces how the company’s unique annealing quantum computing solutions can help organizations solve complex computational problems today (https://ibn.fm/blzr2).
According to a Hyperion Research report, commissioned by D-Wave, (https://ibn.fm/iOLGW), more than 80% of enterprises surveyed expect to increase their investments in quantum computing over the next two to three years, with logistics and supply chain management identified as top sectors to benefit from quantum computing capabilities. The new GTM strategy sharpens the company’s focus to drive revenue and help customers incorporate D-Wave’s technologies more rapidly into their IT infrastructures. It comes at a time when D-Wave is focused on transitioning customers from experimentation to operational use of quantum.
In support of the company’s vertical strategy for the GTM initiative, D-Wave recently launched a logistics-focused campaign, introducing new resources and highlighting subject matter expertise on how annealing quantum computing is uniquely suited to solve critical logistics challenges. Elements of this campaign include:
- A new ebook (https://ibn.fm/rpXRM): “Moving Forward: How Quantum-Powered Logistics Management is Changing the Game”
- A LinkedIn Live session, which took place on March 7, 2024 with Murray Thom, vice president of quantum technology evangelism at D-Wave, focused on optimization solutions for logistics (https://ibn.fm/OHzLh)
- An upcoming logistics-focused webinar on March 26, 2024, featuring Tecnalia, a technological development center, showcasing how they use quantum hybrid technologies to reduce storage costs and improve vehicle space allocation in their truck-loading application (https://ibn.fm/MfGnN)
“Our new GTM strategy positions us to better serve a market that is ready to reap the tangible benefits of today’s quantum computing solutions,” said Irwan Owen, VP of growth at D-Wave. “We expect this strategic focus will expand our reach and deliver greater value for our customers and shareholders as we help businesses solve today’s real-world optimization challenges.”
D-Wave’s relentless pursuit of practical quantum computing has resulted in the technology being used today by some of the world’s most advanced enterprises – more than 25 of the Forbes Global 2000 companies use D-Wave technologies. The company boasts an extensive IP portfolio featuring over 200 issued U.S. patents and over 100 peer-reviewed papers published in leading scientific journals.
The company also recently announced its involvement in the upcoming 36th Annual Roth Conference, to be held March 17-19, where CEO Dr. Alan Baratz and CFO John Markovich will participate. The conference will be held at the Ritz Carlton, Laguna Niguel in Dana Point, California. Dr. Baratz will also participate in a fireside chat, which will be webcast live and archived for future viewing.
