Navon World and Mastercard have created a three-part virtual series exploring how AI, quantum computing, and cybersecurity are poised to redefine the future of financial services across East Africa. Designed for senior technology and innovation leaders, each session will deliver practical insights on accelerating digital transformation, enhancing security, and building the next generation of resilient, data-driven financial infrastructure.

In this final event in our 3-part series, we will discuss one of the most important elements in the day-to-day operations of a financial institution: cybersecurity. Not only are we seeing increased fraudulent activity, but as quantum computers continue to develop at a rapid pace, our existing encryption is at risk. We will discuss how and why our current cybersecurity is so vulnerable, what global institutions and regulators are doing to mitigate these risks, and why it’s never too early to enhance security.

Ankara University is hosting a special seminar titled “Quantum Computing: Studies from Turkey and the World” on November 21, 2025, at 14:30 in Classroom 6, Software Engineering Department.

Participants will explore

• The latest developments in quantum technologies
• Fundamental principles of quantum computing
• Turkey’s emerging quantum ecosystem
• QWorld’s global impact and educational programs
• Opportunities for students, including participation and certification

The seminar welcomes students and academics interested in the future of quantum computing, with a focus on research, collaboration, and educational advancement in Turkey and internationally. Leading organizations in quantum science and technology support the event.

QDeal25 is the first Italian national event dedicated to strategic dialogue between businesses, academic researchers, and institutions in the quantum technologies sector. Organized by the IYQ distinguished partner NQSTI in collaboration with Confindustria Catania, the workshop aims to establish a national technology transfer system dedicated to quantum technologies. The event will feature keynote presentations by experts, interventions by stakeholders, and targeted meetings to develop concrete project proposals across five thematic areas: sensing and metrology, quantum computing, quantum communication and cybersecurity, enabling technologies, and the quantum ecosystem.

Quantum Year Wrap-Up 2025 — A National Gathering on the State of Quantum Science in Brazil

On December 12th, from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. (BRT), the IBM São Paulo headquarters will host a distinguished scientific convening: the Quantum Year Wrap-Up 2025. This event marks a solemn and celebratory closing of the Brazilian quantum-science calendar, bringing together leading voices from across the country to reflect on the year’s most significant achievements.

The gathering will feature researchers, professors, PhD scholars, early-career scientists, and undergraduate students from universities throughout Brazil, alongside members of the Feynman Quantum Computing Academic League (LACQ). Each participant will present the major milestones, insights, and breakthroughs that shaped their quantum research in 2025—from advances in quantum algorithms and simulation techniques to progress in hardware platforms such as superconducting circuits and photonics.

The event will highlight not only scientific results, but also collaborative initiatives, educational innovations, and community-building efforts that contributed to strengthening the Brazilian quantum-technology ecosystem during the past year.

A portion of the program will be livestreamed in partnership with Microsoft Reactor São Paulo, ensuring that the broader academic and scientific community can participate remotely.

The Quantum Year Wrap-Up stands as a symbolic moment of convergence, recognition, and forward-looking dialogue—an opportunity to honor the work accomplished in 2025 and to reinforce Brazil’s commitment to advancing quantum science with excellence, openness, and international collaboration.

This is the global ELSA of the quantum technologies event under IYQ.

Quantum computing and other quantum-driven technologies have been a field of technology investment for decades. With promising potential, significant investments from many governmental and industrial parties are poured into winning the race. The SIGSPATIAL community is building a capacity in that promising technology field.

This workshop aims to bring together SIGSPATIAL community members interested in exploring quantum technologies in spatial systems and applications. It will also invite non-SIGSPATIAL members who are experts in the field of quantum technologies to enrich the community and foster learning and collaboration. The workshop will be open to all levels of expertise, allowing participants to contribute or learn.
