⚛ Q-Con Quantum Conference 2025 📅 August 29, 2025 | 📍 Gdańsk, Poland
At the end of August, Gdańsk will become a place where quantum technologies, AI, deeptech, and innovation will meet at one table. 200 participants from 25 countries will participate in the international Q-Con conference at the University of Gdańsk on August 29th. This unique event is dedicated to the latest advancements in quantum technologies, artificial intelligence, and deep tech. You can still join the event!
Q-Con is an international event dedicated to the latest achievements in quantum technologies and their applications in science, business and education.
At Q-Con 2025, innovation will collide with practice – drawing on AI experiences and the latest EU strategies, we will seek answers to the question:
What needs to happen for Europe to lead the global quantum revolution?
💡 We’ll be discussing:
– a sovereign quantum industry
– EU strategies for quantum tech & post-quantum cryptography
– education and talent
– collaboration across borders
The Q-Con Quantum Conference 2025 will feature numerous events dedicated to quantum physics. The Quantum Summer School (Q Camp) will take place from August 25th to September 4th, and on August 28th (Thursday) we invite you to Q Docks (topic tables and networking with Startup Harbour). Q-Hack & Re:renesans – Hackathon of Art, Science, and Technology, co-organized by the University of Gdańsk and the CODE:ME Foundation – will take place from August 29th to 31st.
