About this Event

Join us in Glasgow on Monday 1 June for the launch of the Quantum ARC Scotland report, a landmark assessment of Scotland's quantum ecosystem and its place in the global quantum economy. Learn how Scotland has built one of the world's top five quantum clusters and how it can maintain its strategic edge. The day brings together technology companies, investors, researchers and policymakers for a full programme of discussion and debate — from ministerial perspectives to company presentations and panel discussions on questions around infrastructure, investment, and workforce.

As well as a packed agenda, there will be networking opportunities to make new connections across the Scottish quantum ecosystem (and beyond) from academia, industry, investment, and policy.
