Europe's digital and technological sovereignty is currently being shaped at the heart of Germany's research and industrial ecosystems.
As the threat of "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" accelerates and AI-driven cyberattacks redefine the security landscape, Germany is mobilizing its academic leaders, deeptech startups, and industrial players to structure its post-quantum roadmap.
Q-Day Germany™, organized by the team behind the Q-Day Summit™, has established itself as the premier strategic event for bringing together the cyber, quantum, and industrial ecosystem in Germany.
Key themes of the preliminary program (program currently under development, subject to change):
