Event overview

Organised by Innovate UK (UK Research and Innovation), in collaboration with UK National Quantum Technologies Programme (NQTP), this years’ industry leading showcase and conference is set to welcome thousands of visitors to explore how breakthrough ideas can become investable and scalable businesses. Building on the success of previous years and with global recognition, this dedicated event for the quantum ecosystem is framed by the theme of ‘Turning Breakthrough Ideas into Industry Giants’.

For more than a decade, UK government has been supporting commercial quantum solutions and industry developments. Most recently for instance, the ProQure programme has been demonstrating the UK’s strong commitment to the scale-up of quantum technologies.

Through demonstrations from ambitious businesses, the UK National Quantum Technologies Showcase continues to foster new commercial opportunities, strengthen investment partnerships, enable economic growth and accelerate collaboration.
