The International Council of Quantum Industry Associations (ICQIA) brings together quantum industry associations from trusted regions and countries, fostering international collaboration and alignment across the global quantum ecosystem. At Q-Expo 2026, ICQIA will formally welcome two additional industry associations to its community, marking its first expansion since its establishment in 2023.

This milestone will be commemorated through a formal signing ceremony of the ICQIA Charter, accompanied by remarks from both founding and newly admitted members, reflecting on the significance of this moment and the shared commitment to advancing the global quantum industry. The ceremony will be followed by a panel discussion featuring all ICQIA members, held as part of the plenary programme.
