SWISS QUANTUM WEEK

Atome, énergie, lumière : la quantique pour grand public ! An event on quantum science and technology with engaging speakers, ateliers, and demonstrations of practical applications. Discover the strange and fascinating world of quantum physics through hands-on activities, interactive demonstrations, and engaging talks by scientists. This event is specifically aimed at ages 10 and up, but everyone is welcome.

Teams will develop quantum solutions for the UN Sustainable Development Goals. This hands-on competition offers students practical experience, helps corporates explore first applications, and shows policymakers that quantum is already delivering real results—making it a key driver for Switzerland's innovation agenda and future investment.

As part of the fifth GESDA Summit, which gathers 1,000 global leaders in science, diplomacy, policy, and industry, the Open Quantum Institute (OQI) will convene its annual meeting, with dedicated sessions on quantum technologies. The Open Quantum Institute (OQI), a multilateral governance initiative hosted at CERN, was born at GESDA and is supported by UBS to promote global and inclusive access to quantum computing for the benefit of humanity.

During the GESDA Summit, the OQI community will gather for its annual meeting, with a series of workshops centered around OQI's main activities.

QIDiS is a one-day event that gathers over 500 academic and industrial R&D to foster exchange and accelerate the development of new quantum products for inspiring keynote talks, panel discussions, and networking opportunities. Large private and public investments are rapidly pushing quantum technologies out of labs and into real-world applications. Industrial actors are playing a key role: they provide the enabling technologies as well as the commercialization know-how driving this development. The program covers the areas of quantum computing, quantum sensing, quantum instrumentation and quantum communication.

The Swissnex Quantum Summit 2025 will bring together key ecosystem builders from several countries to discuss how to accelerate breakthroughs and shape the quantum economy. In an interactive workshop format, participants will explore the best practices in building robust quantum ecosystems at the local and national levels, and connecting them across borders, with a focus on collaboration potential with the Swiss quantum ecosystem. Topics will include government programs, infrastructures, cross-sector collaborations, talent development programs, and the value chain pipeline for quantum technologies.
