IQT Nordics 2025 takes place in central Gothenburg, at the Chalmers Conference Centre at Chalmers University of Technology, May 20-22, 2025. This is the third annual IQT Nordics, following great success in Copenhagen (2023) and Helsinki (2024).

The theme is “Real-World Applications and Progress Enabled by Quantum Technology.” The conference features sessions on end-user applications and quantum strategies in industrial sectors, commercializing quantum applications and growing the quantum industry, innovations and technologies enabling progress in quantum computer platforms, developments and applications in quantum sensing, and much more. Distinguished speakers and exhibiting organizations from the Nordic region and around the world are participating. The programme comprises a visit to the Quantum labs at Chalmers University of Technology.

IQT Nordics 2025 provides a great opportunity for extending your Nordic network and exploring collaboration with the Nordic quantum ecosystem, not least the thriving quantum startup community and the potential end-users. You will also get a fresh update on recent technology and business developments in the field.
