SUMMARY:Quantum for Good: Industry leadership\, innovation and real-world impact
DESCRIPTION:This track will spotlight how quantum technologies can deliver real-world impact\, ensuring everyone can participate in and benefit from the second quantum revolution. It will explore how global collaboration can transform quantum breakthroughs into opportunities that matter for all. \n14:00-14:15  Opening remarks\nSpeaker(s)\n\nSameer Chauhan | Director\, United Nations International Computing Centre (UNICC)\nLeandro Aolita | Acting Chief Researcher\, Quantum Research Center\n\n14:15-14:45   Quick-fire: Quantum in action\nQuantum technology is evolving rapidly\, but where does the industry stand today? This high-energy\, quick-fire session brings together experts from across the quantum computing\, communication\, sensing sectors to answer fast-paced\, hard-hitting questions on the current state of the field of quantum technologies\, challenges\, and breakthroughs shaping the future of quantum. \nPanelists:\n\nMathias Soeken | Principal Quantum Software Architect\, Microsoft\nMio Murao “Professor\, Department of Physics\, University of Tokyo\nRené Reimann | Senior Director\, Quantum Sensing\, Technology Innovation Institute (TII)\nRichard Hall-Wilton | Director at Center for Sensors & Devices\, Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK)\, Italy\nWei Qi | CEO\, CAS Quantum Network Co.\nYaseera Ismail | Senior Lecturer\, Department of Physics\, Stellenbosch University\, South Africa\n\nModerator(s):\nUlrich Mans | Strategic Partnerships Lead\, Quantum Delta\, Netherlands \n14:45-15:30  From idea to impact: How quantum is transforming sectors today\nQuantum technology is moving beyond the lab\, shaping industries and solving real-world challenges. But how does an idea evolve from concept to implementation and full-scale deployment? This session takes you on a journey through the lifecycle of quantum applications; showcasing projects at different stages of maturity\, from initial scoping to operational deployments. Through concrete examples\, this session will explore quantum’s role in critical sectors culminating in a unique perspective on quantum’s intersection with the arts and education while highlighting the challenges\, breakthroughs\, and lessons learned in bringing quantum solutions to life. \nPanelists:\n\nAli Taha Koç | CEO\, Turkcell\nJoanna Doummar | Associate Professor of Groundwater Hydrology\, American University of Beirut in Lebanon\nGregoire Ribordy | CEO\, ID Quantique (IDQ)\nGraham Alabaster | Director Geneva Office\, UN-Habitat\n\nModerator(s):\nCatherine Lefebvre | Senior Advisor for Open Quantum Institute (OQI) and GESDA & Applications Lead\, Open Quantum Institute (OQI) \n15:30-15:45   Coffee break & exhibition walkthrough\n15:45-16:15   When the code breaks\, who builds what comes next?\nThe encryption we rely on today will not survive the quantum era. As quantum computing edges closer to breaking traditional cryptographic systems\, a quiet but critical race is underway to build what comes next. This session brings together the architects of post-quantum security—those working behind the scenes to redesign the foundation of digital trust. From new algorithms to implementation strategies\, discover how a new generation of cryptographic pioneers is preparing for the quantum future before it arrives. \nPanelists:\n\nAnne Dames | Distinguished Engineer\, IBM Infrastructure & IBM Z Cryptographic Technology Development\, IBM\nNajwa Aaraj | CEO\, Technology Innovation Institute (TII)\nDebora Comparin | Standardization Expert\, Thales Digital Identity & Security\n\nModerator(s):\nMira Wolf-Bauwens | Head of Initiatives Development\, Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipator (GESDA) \n16:15-17:00  Investing in the second quantum revolution: Scaling quantum innovation for real-world impact\nWhat does it take to scale quantum innovation from research to reality? Bold investment\, strategic funding\, and market-ready solutions that drive both sustainable growth and broader access. This session brings together top industry leaders and investors to explore where capital will drive the biggest returns\, how to overcome commercialization challenges\, and why now is the time to invest in quantum technologies to support long-term impact. \nPanelists:\n\nElif Kiesow | Executive Director\, Ethicqual and Ethics Subcommittee Lead\, Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C)\nKatsuyuki Hanai | Chair of Quantum Cryptography and Quantum Communication subcommittee\, Quantum STrategic industry Alliance for Revolution (Q-STAR) | Business Unit Manager\, ICT Solutions Division\, Toshiba Digital Solutions Corp\nLisa Lambert | Chief Executive Officer\, Quantum Industry Canada (QIC)\nThierry Botter | Executive Director\, European Quantum Industry Consortium (QuIC)\n\nModerator(s):\nWill Zeng | Partner\, Quantonation and President\, Unitary Foundation \n17:00-17:15  Quantum: Hype\, hope\, or reality?\nIs quantum on the verge of revolutionizing industries\, or are we still years away from meaningful breakthroughs? This lively realist vs. optimist debate will challenge perspectives on the pace of quantum innovation\, commercialization hurdles\, and the real-world impact of today’s investments. Tying together key insights from the day\, this session asks: Are we moving fast enough\, and what will it take to turn promise into progress? Expect bold predictions\, tough questions\, and a spirited discussion to wrap up the day. \nSpeaker(s)\nShohini Ghose | Professor\, Wilfrid Laurier University and CTO\, Quantum Algorithms Institute
