The Quantum Industry Chat is open to industry members, innovators, startups, researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in how advances in quantum technologies can impact industrial processes across fields such as materials science, chemistry, communication, logistics, and sensing.
This edition will introduce the quantum ecosystem in the Upper Rhine Region and bring together key players from industry, science, innovation, talent development, and policy. The goal is to raise awareness, foster collaboration, and explore the opportunities that quantum technologies can offer to industry.
Registration is free of charge.
Please note that all talks will be held in English
Discover the quantum innovation landscape through the start-up and company pitch sessions, where emerging ideas, and applications will be presented. A panel with industry members and policymakers will offer insights into current needs, opportunities, and framework conditions for bringing quantum technologies closer to industrial use.
❋ Learn about the ecosystemParticipants can explore informational talks on key areas of quantum technology, including quantum computing, sensing, and communication, and learn about education and training opportunities for industry members.
❋ Information & educationConnection is a core part of the event. The Industry Exhibition and the social breaks as well as the apéro offer the opportunity to discover companies, startups, and initiatives active in the quantum ecosystem.
❋ Networking and connectingParticipants can join guided visits to selected quantum research laboratories at the Department of Physics, University of Basel, and gain a closer look at spin-qubit and related quantum research.
