Electronics & Applications is the leading trade fair for industrial electronics in the Benelux. At this trade fair, you'll encounter the entire value chain, from components to production and from design services to styling. This makes E&A the meeting place for engineers, designers, developers, and non-technicians looking for solutions.

Electronics & Applications

Organized by the University of Vienna, in cooperation with the Vienna Center for Quantum Science and Technology (VCQ) and the City of Vienna, this two-day event will bring together quantum researchers, industry, startups, policymakers, funding agencies, investors and other important stakeholders in the quantum ecosystem, to discuss advancements in quantum technologies, opportunities for collaboration, and the support needed to drive innovation and commercialization in Austria and beyond.

Vienna Quantum Tech Days 2025

This mission focuses on Germany in general and southern Germany (Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria) in particular. The mission has the following objectives:

- Gain insight into quantum developments and applications, with a focus on aerospace;
- Gain insight into the ecosystem, innovative developments and opportunities in the quantum domain;
exploring trends and opportunities for multi-year (public-private) collaboration between knowledge institutions and companies in the field of research and development;
- Linking innovative knowledge and technology from the Netherlands to market opportunities in the region.

Innovation Mission to Southern Germany

The Amsterdam Light Festival (ALF) returns from November 27, 2025, to January 18, 2026, with the theme "Future Legacy." This year, Quantum Delta NL (QDNL) is joining forces with the festival to inspire a new generation with creativity, innovation, and science. Children play an active role in this collaboration. Together with artist Federico Murgia, primary school students will create a unique light artwork that is part of the festival. Through hands-on workshops, they will discover how art and quantum technology intersect and become ambassadors for both the festival and science. This collaboration sparks curiosity and stimulates creativity, aiming to have a lasting impact on future generations. In this way, the ALF and QDNL will not only make the city shine, but also the minds of young explorers.

The UK National Quantum Technologies Showcase returns – bigger, bolder, and more globally connected than ever before. This time, it will be part of the International Year of Quantum.

UK National Quantum Showcase

Quantum physicist Anne-Marije Zwerver will guide you through the world of qubits, entanglement, superposition and other quantum properties crucial to quantum computing. She will explain how a quantum chip is built and how, since qubits perform calculations in a fundamentally different way than we are used to, not only new hardware but also new algorithms need to be developed for quantum computing.

On 16 September 2025 the Centre for Quantum and Society will organise the next Quantum & Society Research Colloquium with Anh Nguyen as our speaker, with the lecture.

Securing (the minds behind) the quantum dream? Emerging law and practice of knowledge security in quantum innovation

Quantum innovation faces major engineering hurdles in translating quantum science into quantum technologies that can scale up and commercialise. The key to unlocking quantum ambitions is the coming together of scientific expertise, engineering acumen and commercial savviness.

The pursuit of these ambitions entails intense competition over talent and the regulatory efforts to secure state and institutional actors’ knowledge base through the emerging law and practice of “knowledge security.” In light of the proposed Dutch Knowledge Security Screening Bill (tabled for early 2027) and the recent EU Quantum Strategy (July 2025), this talk explores on what “knowledge security” means for the pursuit of quantum innovation.

First, the talk outlines the proposed (institutional) obligations in the Dutch Knowledge Security Screening Bill and contextualises these provisions alongside related legal frameworks of immigration, export controls and espionage. Then, the talk teases out the policy tensions between knowledge security and quantum innovation imperatives of talent acquisition for the quantum workforce, international collaboration and technological scale-up. Finally, the talk reflects on how the varying “threat constructions” underlying current knowledge security law and practices reverberate upon individuals as well as the overall pursuit of innovation in quantum, more broadly critical and emerging, technologies.

The talk will be hosted (in person, with the possibility to attend remotely) by the T.M.C. Asser Institute and the Law and Governance of Quantum Technologies Research Group at the Institute for Information Law (IViR) and the Amsterdam Center for International Law (ACIL) at the Amsterdam Law School of the University of Amsterdam.

The context of the discussion

The financial sector is part of the critical infrastructure in which cyber threats represent systemic risks. Cryptographic security is fundamental for the functioning of the financial ecosystem. As warned by the International Monetary Fund in 2021, the anticipated “massive computing power of quantum machines threatens modern cryptography, with far-reaching implications for the financial stability and privacy” and that given that quantum computers also pose retroactive risks, “the time for action is now”. The Dutch PQC Migration Handbook identifies financial entities as “urgent adopters” who should start migration to quantum-resistant cryptography as soon as possible. Similarly, the Europol’s Quantum Safe Financial Forum has called in February 2025 for an urgent coordinated action to transition to PQC. Nevertheless, although various sector-specific initiatives to prepare for the mitigation of the quantum threat have already been taking place and awareness is gradually increasing, as some surveys have shown, there is still an overall lack of quantum-readiness and investment in related measures. At the same time, as a survey conducted by the German Information Security authority and KPMG indicated, regulatory requirements would stimulate a vast majority of organisations to adopt more proactive attitudes towards deployment of quantum-safe cryptography. In the EU, a sector-specific legislation DORA has been recently introduced highlighting the importance of strong cybersecurity requirements in the financial sector. General PQC transition-related policies have been also put in place in various countries, including in the US and the EU, alongside the existing data protection and cybersecurity frameworks. According to the Quantum Safe Financial Forum, at present “there is no need for additional legislation to be made; a voluntary framework established between regulators and the private sector would be sufficient to set guidelines for quantum-safe cryptography and promoting standardisation across institutions”. In the meantime, the first PQC algorithms have been standardised to facilitate practical implementations.What is the state of play of the PQC transition in the financial sector? What governance steps are still needed for its full enactment? We look very much forward to welcoming you at this event!

Join us on 17 September 14:00-15:30 CEST for an online event on the post-quantum cryptography transition in such a critical sector as the financial system to discuss the state of play, challenges and the way forward with a line-up of distinguished experts in the field. 

Participation is free, but registration is required. The event link will be provided to registered participants.
