About

Quantum sovereignty at the intersection of finance and space

As financial institutions, digital asset markets, and space communication systems face growing vulnerabilities, this executive summit adopts a comprehensive, sovereign perspective. It fully integrates the strategic challenges of secure satellite connectivity and next-generation orbital infrastructure. On November 5, 2026, Q-Day Finance™ in Luxembourg will bring together financial leaders, regulators, and cybersecurity experts to address the urgent need for a post-quantum transition.

To protect the global economy and space networks against the risk of interception and the "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" paradigm, the summit combines the complementary approaches of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). This is the strategic crossroads where decision-makers, regulators, New Space stakeholders, and cybersecurity experts will work together to build the inviolable architecture for the digital and space resilience of tomorrow.

Q-Day Finance™ Luxembourg

Early programme (teaser)

The quantum threat isn't waiting for tomorrow. Neither is our critical infrastructure.

The "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" paradigm is no longer a theoretical concept: it is an immediate operational risk facing financial institutions, capital markets, satellite communication networks, and the sovereignty of highly sensitive data.

Combined with the rise of cyberattacks driven by autonomous and agentic AI systems, the technological status quo leaves the global economy and orbital networks exposed to critical vulnerabilities. The Q-Day Finance & Space™, co-organized by the teams at the Q-Day Summit™ and the Luxembourg Quantum Alliance, stands as the essential international executive summit for the end of this year.

Key themes of the preliminary program (program currently under development; subject to change as speakers are confirmed):
