Discover how Unilever is harnessing the power of Azure Quantum within its virtual data lab to slash the time required for computational simulations and accelerate product innovation.

Join our expert panel as we discuss the far-reaching implications of quantum computing and AI for the CPG industry. Learn how these cutting-edge technologies enable Unilever to leverage natural language processing to query scientific information, predict outcomes based on molecule chemistry, and run thousands of virtual lab experiments in a fraction of the time.

We dive into the critical role of rapid product development in the highly competitive CPG landscape, especially in the beauty industry where consumer demands for innovation are at an all-time high. Explore how tools like generative AI and predictive modeling can help companies stay ahead of the curve by quickly responding to emerging trends, such as those driven by TikTok.

Gain insights into the strategic importance of technology partnerships, as major CPG players like Unilever place their bets on collaborations with Microsoft, Google, Oracle, and Amazon to gain an edge in mastering big data and advanced analytics. We also discuss the potential winners in this tech arms race, with NVIDIA poised to benefit from its position as a key enabler of quantum computing and AI.

Whether you're a CPG professional, a tech enthusiast, or simply curious about the future of innovation, this video offers a fascinating glimpse into the transformative potential of quantum computing and its impact on the consumer goods industry.
