Q2B Copenhagen 2026
The Roadmap to Quantum Value
Quantum is entering a defining new phase. Across quantum computing, AI, high-performance computing, error correction, communications, security, sensing and timing, Q2B Copenhagen brings together many of the people determining what comes next.
The conference runs over two days at Øksnehallen, drawing scientists, founders, investors, diplomats and technology executives from across the quantum economy. Its focus is the move from demonstration toward deployment: which technologies scale, where value appears first, and how governments and industries respond.

Join Quantum For The Goals at UNGAQuantum and impact are part of the official Q2B Copenhagen agenda. The conversation continues two weeks later at Quantum For The Goals at UNGA, chaired by The Hon. Prime Minister Lord Fatafehi Fakafānua of the Kingdom of Tonga.
Quantum For The Goals is a movement to mobilize quantum leadership across government, capital, industry, science and technology, with a focus on ensuring that the benefits of the quantum revolution reach frontline countries facing the world's most urgent development and resilience challenges.
The question is no longer only what quantum can make possible. It is what we choose to make possible with quantum, and who benefits from it.
