荔枝视频

The 荔枝视频鈥檚  recently hosted another milestone edition of , bringing together more than 250 global leaders from business, government, research, startups and investment to shape the future of quantum technology. 

Among them, 28 per cent were industry representatives, helping make qConnect 2025 鈥� Canada鈥檚 premier industry-focused quantum event during the  鈥� a demonstration of 荔枝视频鈥檚 growing role as a global hub for quantum solutions.

This year鈥檚 event on Nov. 5 and 6 delivered two days of forward-looking dialogue, candid conversations and tangible action items, all designed to encourage momentum and adoption of quantum technologies across multiple sectors. 

With a strong emphasis on accessibility and practical implementation, qConnect 2025 created space for industry teams to understand real-world opportunities and challenges, hear from leading experts, and make strategic connections that drive progress.

Industry-led conversations shape what comes next

Sessions explored the evolving impact of quantum technology across utilities, finance, cybersecurity and sustainable communities. Panellists offered fresh perspectives on how organizations are preparing for a quantum-enabled future, moving beyond theory to real solutions, pilot projects and commercial pathways.

From Quantum Key Distribution-secured networks to accelerator-fuelled startup growth, the tone of the event remained firmly grounded in what industry needs and how quantum technologies can meet those needs today and tomorrow.

Major announcements signal 荔枝视频's ascent as a global quantum hub

Quantum City highlighted several major developments at qConnect 2025 that demonstrate this momentum:

• The launch of the next Global Quantum City Challenge Series, focused on critical infrastructure such as energy, transportation, communications and grid resilience. The Challenge brings industry and research teams together to solve real-world problems using quantum technology.
• A new partnership with  in Quebec designed to connect regional strengths, expand commercial pathways for quantum solutions and strengthen Canada鈥檚 position as a global leader. By aligning capabilities across provinces, the partnership accelerates shared innovation and contributes to building a global quantum solutions hub in 荔枝视频 through Quantum City.
• is  for its second cohort, creating a space where quantum tech startups can accelerate, connect and thrive on the path from ideas to real-world impact. 

鈥溊笾κ悠� is a region well positioned to be a major player as a quantum hub. The City can help tip that scale," said Jason Cameron, program manager, Storytelling, Engagement & Experimentation, with The City of 荔枝视频, speaking on the Challenge Series. 

"We can tip that scale by collaborating with partners, offering real-world business cases and challenges on our own network, and making available invaluable infrastructure for industry and academic R&D (research and development).鈥� 

Samuel Mugel, CTO of Multiverse Computing, reflected on why Canada鈥檚 rapidly expanding quantum ecosystem made it the ideal place to grow during the panel, Global Lessons: What Canada Can Learn from Global Quantum Ecosystems. 

鈥淐anada has a fantastic quantum ecosystem and we wanted to be part of that," Mugel said. 鈥淲e knew that we (Multiverse Computing) had to come to the countries that had the most funding and the most investment in quantum computing, because this is where we really needed to compete.鈥�

Designed for accessibility, collaboration and action

A core goal of qConnect 2025 was accessibility, ensuring that industry teams of all backgrounds could engage with quantum. From introductory talks to policy discussions, the event supported a diverse audience, encouraging curious newcomers, experienced quantum practitioners and solution-focused executives to learn together.

Attendees also took advantage of networking sessions, open Q&A formats and showcase presentations from quantum-technology startups. These moments brought people together in meaningful ways and have already started turning into new collaborations beyond the event.

鈥淭he conversations we had here weren鈥檛 hypothetical. They were targeted, actionable and grounded in real industry demand,鈥� said Megan Lee, managing director of Quantum City.

A future shaped by industry-wide momentum

As qConnect 2025 concluded, one message was clear: quantum technology is moving from concept to practical application and 荔枝视频 is becoming a place where those applications take shape. 

Quantum City and U荔枝视频 continue to play a central role in building the ecosystem, driving innovation and establishing partnerships that set the stage for a resilient, globally competitive quantum economy. This year also marked a milestone as  (CDL) hosted its  in 荔枝视频 for the first time, a clear demonstration of the growing quantum ecosystem and the momentum building across 荔枝视频 and Alberta. 

The event took place during , sponsored by U荔枝视频, further highlighting the city鈥檚 rising profile as a hub for technology and innovation.
