Quantum for Impact: Unlocking Productivity
Solving Industry’s Big Challenges for Economic Growth

The Quantum Australia Conference is the nation’s premier event for connecting global quantum leaders, industry decision-makers, researchers, and investors. It bridges the double-sided translation gap, showcasing how world-class research is delivering commercially viable solutions, and how industry can integrate quantum to boost productivity, accelerate innovation, and secure competitive advantage. 

Building on the 2025 theme The Translation of Quantum, the 2026 conference showcases how quantum is already delivering measurable productivity and efficiency gains, unlocking economic growth, strengthening sovereign capability, and creating investable opportunities across critical sectors. 

Backed by the Department of Industry, Science and Resources, and representing Australia’s quantum interests on the global stage, the conference positions quantum not as a distant horizon but as an economic driver with tangible ROI today.
