QC Ware has announced that its 2026 Q2B Copenhagen conference will take place on September 9-10 in Denmark. The event gathers leaders from the quantum computing sector, including experts from government, academia, and global corporations. This year, the conference is held in partnership with a Danish Consortium consisting of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, the Novo Nordisk Foundation, Novo Holdings, and 55 North.
Denmark serves as a central hub for European quantum research. By hosting this event at Øksnehallen, the organizers aim to connect international partners with the local ecosystem. The discussions will cover the technical and commercial sides of quantum technology, such as computing, artificial intelligence, secure communications, and sensing. A significant portion of the program focuses on how to move these technologies from scientific research into real-world business applications.
The event program includes a variety of formats, including technical workshops, keynotes, and panel discussions. A notable session involves a group of ambassadors addressing the role of international cooperation in scaling quantum technology. This panel is moderated by the Department for Techplomacy at the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Other sessions feature representatives from pharmaceutical and telecommunications sectors, such as AstraZeneca, Boehringer Ingelheim, Merck, and NTT Data.
Start-ups also have a platform at this conference. The BioInnovation Institute is organizing a pitch competition on the first day, allowing early-stage companies to present their solutions to a group of investors. This highlights the ongoing efforts to drive innovation and support the growth of the quantum ecosystem. Additionally, various vendors will demonstrate advancements in quantum hardware and software throughout the two-day event.
QC Ware intends to showcase how the Nordic region contributes to the global advancement of quantum technology. Attendees will hear from speakers representing organizations such as Microsoft Quantum, Fujitsu, and the Novo Nordisk Foundation. The full agenda is available for those interested in the latest developments in quantum hardware, error correction, and machine learning applications.
