Provided the sector is given appropriate support,we expect thatquantum computing inSussexand GreaterBrightoncouldgenerate outsizedregional and UK-wideeconomic benefits.Ourforecasts suggestthat by 2050, the quantum sector inSussex and Greater Brightoncould directlygenerate between £721millionand £1.2 billion of economic activity and support between 1,100–1,900jobs in the region. When regional supply chainspending impacts and wage payments are considered,the industry could support a gross valueadded contribution of £1.2billion–£1.9 billion to the SouthEast region and support between 7,000–11,400 jobs.Moreover, our forecasts suggestthat by 2050,the total UK wide contribution of the region's quantum computing sector will be between £2.5billion–£4.1 billion. This economic impact isprojected to support between 25,000–40,800 UK jobs. Moreover, we expect that the development of a quantum ecosystem inSussex and GreaterBrightonwould drive substantial productivity gains, leading to additional economic benefits.Firstly,quantum technologies have the potentialto improve productivity in enduser industries;ourforecasts suggestthat widespread adoption of quantum technologies could lift economy-wideproductivity inSussex and Greater Brightonby around 8% by 2050. In addition, the presence of astrong quantum ecosystem would enable synergies with other advanced technologies in the regionsuch as Artificial Intelligence (AI). With the region already possessing s
