Quantum Circles: The Foundation for Europe’s Quantum Future

We are at a defining moment: by tackling standardisation now, we transform the bottlenecks of incompatible platforms and fragmented research into a unified strategic foundation, accelerating the leap from lab breakthroughs to a scalable, world-leading European quantum industry.

Standardisation is the vital "connective tissue" that turns individual scientific milestones into a unified, scalable industry. It is about more than just technical specifications; it is the process of defining the common ground allows diverse quantum systems to work together seamlessly.

About the Quantum Circles series

Quantum Circles is an ongoing event series hosted by TNO that serves as a collaborative platform for the quantum community. Each session revolves around a different focal theme; such as standardization, testing, etc, to ensure a comprehensive look at the challenges and opportunities within the sector.

The series is built on being interactive and informal, moving away from traditional presentations to favor open dialogue and high-level networking. Our goal is to foster a space where market and research perspectives can meet, generating the partnerships needed to strengthen the entire quantum ecosystem.

Why you should be there

As we build the foundation for a scalable quantum market, your voice is essential to ensure a truly connected ecosystem. This session offers a unique opportunity for startups to understand the specific standards that will define their future product requirements, while giving industry partners a direct hand in influencing the infrastructure development that will support their future operations.

Ultimately, this event serves as a launchpad for cross-sector collaboration, ensuring that no player in the Dutch quantum community is left working in a silo.

The program

Our session is designed to be interactive and informal, with a strong focus on high-level networking.
