This year, MWC25 will host the Quantum Europe stand. Curated by ICFO and located in Hall 6 - Stand 6A8, the stand will feature the latest achievements and advances accomplished so far by some of the companies and initiatives that comprise the Quantum Flagship. Quantum devices and technologies that cover areas such as quantum-encrypted ultra-safe communications on ground and in space, the future quantum internet, quantum simulation and computing, will be showcased by the different entities at the stand to provide an overview of the current status of maturity of these technologies to the MWC audience that is interested in cybersecurity, telecommunications, artificial intelligence, connectivity, finance, healthcare, reliability and agility in secure communications, among others.
Arranged in an space of 100m², the space holds different areas:
The Quantum Europe stand at MWC25 is just a small sample of the technology that is being developed within the Flagship, but a clear indicator of how Europe is seeking to drive quantum technologies into the market and industry and position itself as a leader in this field. With the launch of the IYQ 2025, recognised by UNESCO, the world is increasingly aware of the importance of these technologies and is exploring new ways to push boundaries – developing innovations that can revolutionise communication, information processing, and human interaction while enhancing daily life, all with a focus on sustainability for both society and the planet.

The Quantum Flagship is a 10-year initiative funded by the European Commission that was launched in October 2018 to accelerate the development of quantum technologies and their transition to the market. The Flagship is currently in its second phase, coordinating 7 large Framework Agreements (FPA) in Quantum Communications, Simulation, Computing, Testing and Pilot programmes, comprising many leading academic and industrial partners from across Europe to collaborate on the future of quantum technology.
The goal is to consolidate and expand European scientific leadership and excellence in this research area, to make Europe a dynamic and attractive region for innovative research, business and investments in this field. More recently, quantum technologies have expanded to other European actions, e.g., within the Digital Europe Program (DEP), the European Innovation Council (EIC), and the forthcoming Chips Act. Quantum technologies are also supported by actions at the national levels, under the form of various National Quantum Initiatives.
