IQT Nordics 2026 takes place in Oslo, Norway, June 22-24, 2026. Located at OsloMet University in beautiful central Oslo. This is the fourth annual IQT Nordics, following great success in Copenhagen (2023), Helsinki (2024), and Gothenburg (2025).
The theme is “Quantum Technology in a Changing World.” The EU recently launched its long-awaited quantum strategy which will have an impact on most of Europe and on the Nordic region. The title of the EU strategy is “Quantum Europe in a Changing World,” from which IQT Nordics 2026 tagline derives.
IQT Nordics Oslo will feature sessions on end-user applications and 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. With ample networking time throughout each day, distinguished speakers and exhibiting organizations from the Nordic region and around the world are accessible for priceless interaction.
IQT Nordics 2026 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.
Networking opportunities include an opening ceremony and networking reception at Oslo City Hall on the 22nd, tours of prestigious quantum facilities (to be announced), and a wonderful evening cruise through Oslo waterways.
