ntv interview transcript | Ulrich Reitz & Markus Pflitsch |
EFES 2026
Interviewer: What role does quantum technology play in
all of this?
Markus Pflitsch: Yes, quantum will play a central role
in these fields because robots also need an operating system. They need software to run on, and algorithms that control them. When we
look at these highly complex environments, especially when we are talking about large fleets of robots that need to be coordinated, we
are dealing with extremely complex data analytics. That is what AI does. But AI is already reaching its limits in certain areas. This
is where quantum computers come in, enabling the next level of artificial intelligence.
Interviewer: When people look at robots today, many are
not entirely convinced that they are already capable of making a meaningful contribution in the workplace. Do you have a different impression?
Markus Pflitsch: Yes, I believe that a great deal is happening
around the world, and we do not always have full visibility into what is already possible. I expect developments in this field to accelerate
dramatically, much like what we have seen with AI models and tools over the past few years. When these two technologies come together,
I believe they will create an enormous wave of innovation, one that we absolutely need to be part of.
Interviewer: Can Germany still keep up, or has the game
already been won elsewhere?
Markus Pflitsch: I am a convinced European, and naturally
I want Germany and Europe to play an active role in this race. To be honest, however, I believe we have already lost the classical AI
race, that is, the user interfaces and the underlying algorithms that power these robots. Europe still possesses valuable data resources
that others are eager to mine. But the tools used to extract value from that data, the AI tools themselves, are largely coming from the
United States today. And I believe we cannot afford to let the same thing happen with quantum technology. Quantum computing represents
the next deep-tech era, and we must make sure that Europe is part of it.
Interviewer: Terra Quantum plans to go public on Nasdaq
in the second half of the year. Was Germany ever an option as a listing venue?
Markus Pflitsch: What we see very clearly, and this has
also been discussed extensively here today, is that there is a significant funding gap between Europe and the United States. We have seen
this in major listings, in company valuations, and in market multiples. But it is also a reflection of the fact that the U.S. market is
a highly relevant and relatively homogeneous market that embraces innovation. And fostering innovation is not only a task for policymakers;
companies themselves also need to be innovation-friendly. In that regard, the United States is a very attractive market. Given these realities,
it is almost a natural decision to align yourself with the capital market where innovation, growth, and market openness are strongest.
Interviewer: Thank you very much, Markus Pflitsch.
Markus Pflitsch: Thank you.
