State of Quantum Executive Lounge

On October 20th and hosted by Digital Nova Scotia, executives, founders, entrepreneurs, ecosystem partners, and technology leaders are gathering for an invite-only Executive Lounge to explore the evolving world of quantum technologies, innovation, and post-quantum cybersecurity.

Presented by IonQ, with support from ACENET and Invest Nova Scotia, this event will connect participants with expertise and perspectives from across the quantum and innovation ecosystem.

As quantum technologies advance, business leaders are increasingly being asked to understand what they could mean for their organizations—from emerging applications in cybersecurity, computing, communications, logistics, finance, health, energy, and defence to the growing importance of preparing for a post-quantum future.

Through short presentations from quantum subject matter experts, executive roundtable discussions, and curated networking, attendees will explore where quantum technology is headed, practical and emerging industry applications, the importance of post-quantum cybersecurity, and what organizations can do today to prepare for future opportunities and risks.

Designed to make quantum approachable and relevant for business leaders, this Executive Lounge will provide practical insights, candid conversation, and valuable connections to help decision-makers better understand the quantum landscape and what it could mean for their organizations.

If you are a business leader seeking to explore quantum for your organization, or a researcher delving into the field and would like to attend, please contact derek@digitalnovascotia.com.
