AIDAQ 2026


Shaping strategy, enabling industrial impact and advancing technology: AIDAQ brings together the key themes of the AI, data and quantum transformation — from governance and competitiveness to industry readiness and technological frontiers.



Strategy, Governance & Competitiveness 

How AI and quantum computing are shaping Europe’s digital sovereignty, strategic autonomy, and economic strength

  • AI strategy & governance: AI regulation and policy frameworks, trustworthy and secure AI, data governance and compliance
  • Quantum strategy & policy: national and European quantum strategies, capability-building, and resilience of quantum supply chains
  • Security & defence: implications of AI and quantum for defence capabilities, security preparedness, and protection of critical technologies
  • Infrastructure & global competitiveness: public-private quantum & AI infrastructures, access and scaling of capabilities, and Europe’s position in global technology competition

Industry Applications & Readiness

From technological potential to real-world impact across key sectors

  • AI × Quantum in verticals: use cases, pilots and challenges across sectors such as automotive & mobility, finance, health & life sciences, and manufacturing
  • AI in practice: scaling AI from experimentation to deployment, industrial platforms, skills, and sustainable operating models
  • Quantum in practice: organizational and operational readiness, evaluation and decision-making, progress from PoCs towards industrial relevance, and integration into existing IT and HPC environments and workflows Form

Technology Frontiers

Advancing the technology stack and architectures behind AI and quantum computing

  • AI technology: foundation models and applied AI, data and compute infrastructures, MLOps, model lifecycle management, and efficiency at scale
  • Quantum technology: end-to-end quantum computing stack, hardware and software co-design, scaling and fault tolerance, and hybrid integration with HPC and classical systems
  • Evaluation & performance: benchmarking, validation, and comparability of AI and quantum computing systems.
