Quantum Info and Networking Day

Quantum Technologies in Austria: the European Bridge

15.06.2026, 11:30 - 18:00
Haus der Forschung, Wien
1090 Wien, Sensengasse 1
Austria is among the leading nations in quantum technology, home to outstanding stakeholders in this field. Collaboration within the European quantum ecosystem is a key success factor to stay competitive in the international environment. Upcoming EU programmes and national initiatives will create fresh opportunities to sustainably position Austria in Europe’s research and market landscape.

This event – the second of three in FFG’s series of quantum activities – provides an initial overview of funding mechanisms (Framework Programme 10, European Competitiveness Fund) from 2028 onwards and brings together the Austrian quantum community with European stakeholders (e.g. the European Commission, EuroHPC), enhancing information exchange for the redesigned Horizon Europe quantum calls. In the afternoon, participants will also explore Austrian success stories in the quantum sector.

Through its one-stop-shop approach, FFG supports quantum projects with a broad portfolio of services and offers rich networking opportunities.
