Quantum technology continues to gain momentum and opens up new horizons for innovation, industry, and research. It is gradually becoming a reality for many industrial sectors. Computing, communications, sensors… advances are accelerating and paving the way for new opportunities in innovation, competitiveness, and sovereignty.
Since 2020, Minalogic has been supporting this momentum by bringing together manufacturers, researchers, startups, major corporations, and institutions each year for a day dedicated to quantum technologies.
This event has become a highlight of the ecosystem, providing a platform to better understand industry trends, share insights, identify new opportunities for collaboration, and prepare to take action.
Objectives of the 7th edition
Assessing the Issues and Limitations of Quantum Technology - The event will analyze the opportunities and constraints of quantum technologies in light of five major challenges: energy, industry, cybersecurity, sovereignty coupled with European cooperation, and the impact on the humanities and social sciences (HSS).
Strengthening the international and regional network - This 7th edition will highlight European partnerships by promoting the five pilot initiatives on quantum technology and hosting a Dutch delegation. These strong ties with the Netherlands will be reinforced by a program of visits to local organizations.
Highlighting industrial expertise and talent dynamics - The sessions will showcase industrial use cases while also demonstrating the practical effectiveness of quantum and quantum-inspired algorithms. A roundtable discussion will facilitate exchanges on the structuring of initial and continuing education programs.
Consider environmental sustainability - The focus will be on the environmental and societal impacts of quantum technology. Presentations will address the sector’s ecological footprint and challenges related to the procurement of materials.
