As part of the International Year of Quantum (IYQ 2025), the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is launching the Quantum for Good track at the AI for Good Global Summit, taking place from 8 to 11 July 2025 in Geneva. This track will explore the potential of quantum technologies in advancing sustainable development, ensuring global inclusion, and setting the stage for ethical, responsible, and scalable innovation.

With only five years remaining to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), leveraging transformative technologies such as quantum computing and AI is essential for accelerating progress in climate action, healthcare, food security, and digital inclusion. Both AI and quantum computing are game changers, capable of addressing complex global challenges that surpass classical computing capabilities. Together, they can enhance computational speed and efficiency, optimize data-driven decision-making, and drive advancements in fields such as materials science, logistics, and cybersecurity.
