WHAT IS THE WORLD QUANTUM CANNES FESTIVAL ?

Quantum technologies are entering a decisive phase: from research to industrialization, from promise to scale. The challenges are immense – building global companies, training talent, and evangelizing new markets.

In Europe, this momentum coincides with a new political and industrial agenda. The Quantum Program and the upcoming Quantum Act will redefine the contours of the European industry, setting a framework to secure technological sovereignty, mobilize investments, and structure a competitive ecosystem capable of standing on the global stage.

The World Quantum Cannes Festival provides a unique arena for sharing experiences, advancing concrete applications, and addressing civilization-scale challenges. Here, the quantum community works together to turn breakthrough science into real-world impact. The Festival is also a catalyst for action: shaping policy dialogue, linking world champions with global investors, building alliances across the ecosystem, and celebrating innovation.
