QIDiS is a one-day event that gathers over 500 academic and industrial R&D to foster exchange and accelerate the development of new quantum products for inspiring keynote talks, panel discussions, and networking opportunities.
Large private and public investments are rapidly pushing quantum technologies out of labs and into real-world applications. Industrial actors are playing a key role: they provide the enabling technologies as well as the commercialization know-how driving this development. The program covers the areas of quantum computing, quantum sensing, quantum instrumentation and quantum communication.
Wednesday – Thursday
October 14 – October 15
As part of the sixth GESDA Summit, which gathers 1,000 global leaders in science, diplomacy, policy, and industry, the Open Quantum Institute (OQI) will convene its annual meeting, with dedicated sessions on quantum technologies.
The Open Quantum Institute (OQI), a multilateral governance initiative hosted at CERN, was born at GESDA and is supported by UBS to promote global and inclusive access to quantum computing for the benefit of humanity.
