A quantum journey in transport and finance

Brought to you by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and UKQuantum in partnership with The City Quantum & AI Summit

Quantum technology is set to transform finance and transport, delivering significant advances in precision, optimisation and security. As quantum technologies evolve, it also introduces new challenges for industry to navigate and calls for proactive action and adoption to help mitigate risks. 

Join us 8 October at Mansion House ahead of The City Quantum and AI Summit to explore quantum’s emerging applications and its potential impact across both sectors. 

Hosted by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and UKQuantum, this morning workshop brings together industry experts, innovators, investors and policy leaders to showcase how quantum is already reshaping industry priorities, optimising workflows and unlocking new possibilities in computing, navigation and communications. 

From quantum-enhanced optimisation in trading strategies to precise timing in rail networks, this is a unique opportunity to hear from those leading the charge, including early pilots at major finance and transport organisations.  

Register now to secure you position in this critical conversation and join the quantum movement.
