ABOUTA global forum for the quantum economy
The Quantum Australia Conference is where the world's quantum community connects with the industries, investors and governments shaping the future of the quantum economy.
Our purposeTurning the science into industry
The Quantum Australia Conference is one of the world's leading forums for the quantum economy, bringing together the people, organisations and ideas shaping the future of quantum.
Each year, researchers developing breakthrough science, technology companies commercialising innovation, governments shaping national capability, investors backing emerging ventures, industry leaders preparing for adoption, and international partners come together to explore the opportunities and challenges defining the next era of quantum.
QAC is one of the few places in the world where the entire quantum value chain converges. From discovery and research through to investment, policy, standards, infrastructure, workforce development and real-world deployment, it connects every part of the ecosystem needed to accelerate quantum's transition from scientific breakthrough to economic impact.
This is where scientific discovery meets commercial ambition. Where international partnerships are formed. Where investment is catalysed. Where industries prepare for transformation. And where the future quantum economy takes shape.
If you want to understand where quantum is heading, you can read about it.
If you want to help shape where it goes next, you should be in the room.
The opportunityCapturing the global economic value
Quantum technologies have the potential to reshape how nations compete, industries innovate and economies grow.
The race is no longer to advance quantum science. The race is to capture its economic value.
Around the world, governments are investing billions of dollars, companies are building new industries, investors are backing the next generation of technology leaders, and organisations are beginning to prepare for capabilities that were unimaginable only a decade ago.
The countries and companies that build capability, attract investment, create talent and deploy quantum technologies first will define the next era of global competitiveness.
This is the defining challenge of the decade. And it cannot be solved by one country, one company or one discipline alone.
It requires collaboration across borders, industries and sectors.
The Quantum Australia Conference exists because this moment demands a place where business leaders can come together, not simply to discuss the future, but to shape it.
Why attend?
Real industry challenges at the centre of the conversation.
Around the world, quantum conferences showcase innovation. The Quantum Australia Conference goes a step further, putting real industry challenges at the centre of the conversation.
QAC brings together the people needed to turn scientific breakthroughs into economic impact, connecting industry end users with researchers, technology companies, investors, government and global partners to explore where quantum can create value and create value what it will take to move from possibility to adoption.
This is where international leaders come not only to share what’s possible, but to voice the problems that need solving, build partnerships, identify opportunities and accelerate pathways to adoption.
Because the future quantum economy won’t be built by technology alone. It will be shaped by the industries that use it.
What to expectJoin us in shaping what comes next in quantum.
Global challenges require global collaboration.
What to expectFrom possibility to adoption, scale and impact.
The Quantum Australia Global Conference puts industry problems at the centre of the program, connecting the challenges organisations need to solve with the technologies, expertise and investment that can address them.
The focus is on where quantum can create real economic value, and what it will take to turn scientific breakthroughs into adoption, scale and impact.
