Science Diplomacy for Quantum Security: Building Transatlantic Resilience

Ahead of the ETSI / Institute for Quantum Computing Quantum-Safe Cryptography (QSC) Conference, this invitation-only event offers a high-level policy and international cooperation complement to the conference’s technical program. Convening senior leaders from government, standards bodies, academia, and industry, including speakers from organizations such as Amazon Web Services, ID Quantique, evolutionQ, and Nokia, the convening will focus on aligning quantum-safe migration strategies, advancing interoperability across jurisdictions, and leveraging science diplomacy to address the global coordination challenges posed by emerging quantum risks.

Hosted by Nokia & Science Diplomacy Grid in collaboration with ETSI/IQC QSC Conference Programme Committee, with financial support from Nokia & Honeywell 

 Background 

Quantum technologies are advancing rapidly, and the urgency to secure digital infrastructure against quantum-enabled threats is now a strategic priority for governments, standards bodies, and industry. Quantum-safe security is not only a technical challenge but a transatlantic policy and diplomacy challenge, requiring coordination across research communities, national strategies, and industrial ecosystems. 

This science diplomacy pre-event to the main ETSI conference will convene leaders from government, standards organizations, academia, and industry to explore how science diplomacy can strengthen global resilience against quantum threats.

Why Attend 

Gain access to conversations at the intersection of science, diplomacy, and global policy. This event is designed for leaders who want to understand: 

  • How international standards bodies are coordinating on quantum-safe migration 

  • How governments are shaping national and transatlantic quantum strategies 

  • How industry is preparing for quantum-resilient architectures 

  • How science diplomacy can bridge geopolitical divides in quantum security
