Thank you for being part of the Quantum Australia Conference 2026.

Last week in Adelaide, more than 900 participants, including leaders and students from industry, research, government and investment, came together to explore how quantum technologies are moving from promise to real-world impact.

The energy, collaboration and depth of discussion across the two days made one thing clear: Australia’s quantum ecosystem is not only world-class, it is aligning in a way that can drive meaningful outcomes.

To our speakers, thank you for sharing your expertise, insights and ambition. To our sponsors and exhibitors, thank you for showcasing the innovation shaping the future of the sector.

To everyone who attended, including those who travelled from overseas, thank you for contributing to the conversations, connections and momentum that define this community. The strength of this sector lies in the ecosystem itself. Progress in quantum does not happen in isolation; it happens when researchers, startups, established industry, investors and government work together with shared purpose. What we saw at QAC2026 is exactly that in action.

At Quantum Australia, our role is to coordinate and connect this ecosystem, providing a national platform that makes it easier to collaborate and accelerate the path from research to real-world application. The opportunity ahead is significant, and it will take continued coordination and collective effort to realise it.

We encourage you to stay connected with Quantum Australia, and with each other. There is much more to come.

We welcome your feedback. Your insights help shape future initiatives and ensure we continue delivering value to the ecosystem.

Thank you again for being part of this important moment.

We look forward to seeing you at the next Quantum Australia Conference, taking place from 16–19 February in Sydney and Canberra.
