The event, now in its twelfth year, aims to help organisations discover how rapidly advancing emerging technologies could deliver significant impact across various sectors. This year's theme, ‘Turning Breakthrough Ideas into Industry Giants’, focuses on transforming promising quantum technologies into investable, scalable businesses and fostering partnerships for wider adoption.
Visitors can expect demonstrations, direct conversations with technology developers, and insights from sector specialists. The exhibition will highlight potential applications and business challenges, while the conference will offer perspectives on the latest developments and commercialisation of quantum technologies globally.
The showcase will feature applications across key sectors. In Healthcare, advancements are making imaging more accessible and aiding drug discovery. Finance professionals can explore quantum approaches to portfolio optimisation, risk modelling, and fraud detection. For Infrastructure, quantum gravity sensors are being developed to map underground conditions.
Telecoms and cybersecurity will address secure communications and the implications of quantum computing for data protection. Computing and AI will explore new approaches to complex problems, with companies like ORCA Computing integrating photonic quantum computers with existing infrastructure and AI.
Whatever your sector, interest in quantum or stage of development, the showcase will help you make valuable connections, explore opportunities and find the support you need to take your next step.
The event is organised by Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), in collaboration with the UK National Quantum Technologies Programme (NQTP). A new session for Women in Quantum will also be introduced, aiming to strengthen the community's future.
The UK National Quantum Technologies Showcase 2026 will run from 9am to 4pm at the Business Design Centre, London.
