Quantum Innovation Summit

The Quantum Innovation Summit (QIS) is an engine that activates quantum capability into real-world momentum. Hosted in Dubai, it brings together governments, critical infrastructure operators, global technology companies, research institutions, investors, and ecosystem builders to align strategy, readiness, and adoption around quantum technologies and their enabling frontiers. Founded by Malak Trabelsi Loeb and organised by Vernewell Group, QIS has expanded rapidly since its launch into one of the region’s most influential convening engines for quantum technology. Under Vernewell’s leadership, the Summit has built a recognised space where policy, industry, and research intersect with practical deployment priorities. Its direction is shaped by a consistent emphasis on sovereign capability, international cooperation, and the conversion of advanced technology into operational systems. Now entering its third edition in April 2026, QIS scales significantly in programme depth and exhibition architecture, moving into a larger venue with a substantially expanded exhibition environment. The 2026 theme, Quantum and Emerging Frontiers: Advancing Global Innovation and Technological Leadership, reflects a clear reality: quantum advances most meaningfully when it operates as the strategic nucleus within a wider capability landscape that includes AI, secure digital infrastructure, sensing, communications, advanced materials, and space-enabled systems. This expansion strengthens quantum readiness and accelerates adoption across priority sectors. Mission To activate quantum readiness and adoption by convening decision-makers across government, industry, critical sectors, academia, and investment, enabling strategic dialogue, capability development, and partnerships that translate quantum science into systems and measurable value.
