About This Event
The World Quantum Cannes Festival brings the quantum community to the Palais des Festivals to turn breakthrough science into real-world impact. Its organizing committee is chaired by Nobel laureate Alain Aspect, president of the honorary committee, and Rainer Blatt of the University of Innsbruck. The program runs on three tracks: strategic conferences with keynotes and panels on finance, pharma, and energy; an innovation showcase of hardware demonstrators and R&D projects; and dealmaking through B2B matchmaking, an investor day, and networking lounges. Further strands include SEALSQ Quantum Days, Quantum Art & Society, a French-language Horizons Quantiques program, and a top executive program, and the festival also presents a Startup Award. Speakers include Seth Lloyd (MIT), Peter Zoller (University of Innsbruck), Hermann Hauser (Amadeus Capital Partners), Markus Pflitsch (Terra Quantum), and Hervé Derrey (Thales Alenia Space), among more than 200 experts.
