EPIC Online Technology Meeting on Quantum Communication and QKD
Online Event

In cooperation with


Quantum communication and QKD systems industry constitute one of the most fast-growing quantum industries due to high governmental interest. Photonic qubits are highly promising for performing efficient and long-distance quantum communication protocols. This meeting will gather key plays covering all the supply chain such as fibre manufacturers, single-photon sources, detectors and systems integrators. We will focus on the need for commercial quantum communication systems from an end-user point of view. Moreover, we will target in supporting collaborations and creating business opportunities in the quantum-enhanced communication field.

Spirit of the meetings

During these online technology meetings, we are looking for the challenges the industry is facing and bringing together the entire supply chain to address these challenges. Bringing together end-users with component suppliers and system integrators that will answer the EPIC question “What can you do for them and what can they do for you” creates the perfect foundation to establish new business relationships and find ways for new collaborations and partnerships.
