Science Diplomacy for Quantum Security: Building Transatlantic Resilience
June 15, 2026 | 17:00–20:00
Nokia’s Ottawa Innovation Campus
600 March Road, Kanata, ON
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, YQS2026 & Quantum Industry Canada, 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 ETSI/IQC Quantum Safe Cryptography 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
