Quantum Industry Day in Switzerland
Location: Geneva International Conference Center (CICG)
Rue de Varembé 17, 1211 Genève
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.
