Workshop April 9th, 2026

This event brings together leading experts from industry, academia, and government to share insights on post‑quantum cryptography, quantum‑safe communications, and the practical steps organizations must take to ensure future‑proof security. Through keynotes, technical talks, and poster sessions, participants will gain a clear view of emerging PQC standards, real‑world migration experiences, and the opportunities created by quantum technologies.  
Organized together with Business Finland, VTT and BLimPQC project consortium.
