Grammy-nominated Aloe Blacc calls for open data sharing across funders and corporations
Disruptive transformations unlocked by quantum computing
Frontiers Science House Day 4 underscored the urgency of turning science ambition into delivery — launching new tools to boost Europe’s competitiveness, calling for openness in research data, and exploring the disruptive potential of quantum technologies — while Day 5 turns to science diplomacy, open science, and a shared roadmap to 2035.
The Joint European Disruptive Initiative (JEDI) Draghi Tracker was launched in during the session “Strengthening Europe's Science and Innovation Engine” – a quarterly progress report designed to measure Europe’s implementation of the Draghi report on competitiveness and help move from debate to delivery.

Speaking during the session “Novel approaches to accelerate cancer precision therapeutics—on both sides of the leash,” Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum artist and founder of Major Inc, Aloe Blacc urged funders, universities, startups, and corporations to share data – especially negative results – so the scientific community can learn faster in the AI era. Privacy-preserving approaches could enable collaboration without undermining commercial incentives.

Quantum technologies reshape science and industry as profoundly as AI has. The quantum decade could unlock new capabilities for managing highly complex systems – from climate and biological networks to secure communications.
During the session “Conquering quantum's next frontier,” Barry Sanders , Scientific Director Quantum City of the University of Calgary, said:
“We don’t know exactly what kind of disruptive transformation quantum will bring. It is exciting for scientists but on the security side this is a dual question.”
Global leaders from government, industry, philanthropy, and science explore how open science – amplified by open research data for AI – can drive public benefit and private-sector innovation.
