Program
QAC 2027 / PROGRAMWhere industry problems meet quantum capability.
What happens when we start with the problems industry needs to solve, rather than the technologies being developed?
The Quantum Australia Conference 2027 puts industry challenges at the centre of the conversation, bringing together global leaders, industry end users, researchers, quantum companies, investors and policymakers to explore where quantum can create genuine value.
Across two days, the program connects scientific and technological advances with real-world needs, examining what is possible today, what still needs to be proven and what it will take to commercialise, adopt and scale.
From emerging technologies and industry applications to investment, infrastructure and international collaboration, QAC 2027 is designed to move beyond discussion and create opportunities for meaningful action.

The Global Quantum Economy | What's Real, Where Is Value Emerging, What's Next?
Quantum matters when it helps solve consequential problems. QAC will test where it can, where it cannot yet, and what needs to happen next.
Leading Through The Quantum Shift | What Does Quantum Change About Technologies and Risks Already on My Agenda?
Enterprise leaders need to distinguish what quantum changes now from what they should watch, prepare for or act on as quantum intersects with AI, HPC and cybersecurity.
Where Is The Real Opportunity? | Where Could Quantum Create Business Value That Other Technologies Cannot?
Industry does not need to wait for mature quantum products before engaging. The opportunity now is to identify valuable use cases, understand where quantum may offer differentiated capability, and work with the ecosystem early enough to influence solutions relevant to their business.
What Would Make Industry Act? | What Must Quantum Prove to Earn Enterprise Commitment?
Enterprise readiness and quantum maturity need to develop together. Quantum must demonstrate meaningful advantage, evidence, reliability, economics and integration pathways; industry needs to identify use cases, build capability and partnerships, and start learning before the technology is fully mature.
Global Collaboration Exchange | What Can We Build Together?
The global quantum economy will be built through international collaboration as well as competition. Delegates should identify tangible opportunities, the partners they need and the next conversation to have.
Capital at the Inflection Point | What Makes Quantum Investable?
Explore where quantum is becoming genuinely investable, what milestones investors need to see, where capital is still too early or too late, and how investors distinguish technological promise from scalable commercial opportunity.
Your Encryption Has An Expiry Date | What Is Stopping Migration and What Unblocks It?
PQC migration is not simply a technical problem. Organisations need visibility of their cryptographic dependencies, clear ownership, vendor and procurement readiness, and a practical transition plan.
The Next Chapter of the Global Quantum Economy
Progress requires technology and science to advance alongside industry engagement, international collaboration and the conditions to scale. Delegates leave with clear priorities for what happens next, with the conversation continuing into Canberra.
