QAI Ventures at Swissnex Quantum Summit

In recognition of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology declared by the UN, the Swissnex Quantum Summit will explore best practices in building robust quantum ecosystems at both local and national levels, and how to connect them across borders. The summit is a key event within Swiss Quantum Week, a series of gatherings in Geneva inviting the world to engage with Swiss excellence in quantum research, innovation, education, and governance.

Anca Albu joins the Summit Committee

QAI Ventures is proud to sponsor the Swissnex Quantum Summit 2025 and contribute to shaping its direction through the participation of our COO, Anca Albu, who is joining the Summit Committee. This high-level gathering will convene global ecosystem builders dedicated to accelerating progress in quantum science and technology.

Agenda: What to expect

The interactive one-day summit will be limited to around 70 participants, in order to seek the active participation of all attendees through:

• Topical panels | A series of panel discussions on challenges and best practices in building and connecting quantum ecosystems. Topics will include: national quantum strategies, fostering cross-sector knowledge exchange, the role of accelerators and investors, and fostering a value pipeline from quantum talent to commercial applications.

• Flash talks | 5-minute introductions to key researchers, companies, centers, and ecosystem builders.

• Breakouts | A series of moderated “conversation cafés” – interactive discussions in sub-groups – to address common challenges and opportunities.

• Networking | The ability to schedule individual or small-group side meetings, as well as ample networking time during breaks, lunch, and a closing reception.
