Quantum Effects 2026

Quantum Effects is Messe Stuttgart's exhibition, conference and matchmaking event for quantum technologies, built as a bridge between basic research and industrial applications. Industrial users, start-ups, researchers and technology providers meet over three focus areas: quantum computing, quantum sensing and quantum communication. The 2026 edition follows a 2025 show that drew 2,500 participants.

Stage talks, practice-oriented panels and workshops cover commercialisation, financing and the political and regulatory framework for quantum technology.

Theme parks and networking

Dedicated theme parks show applications in medical technology, aerospace and HPC/AI. Networking runs through B2B matchmaking, user matchmaking, curated business speed-dating in the Game Changer Area, a Networking Night and a career walk. Bosch Quantum Sensing is the hosting partner.

Parallel events

Quantum Effects shares the Stuttgart exhibition centre with other technology shows in October 2026, including VISION (machine vision), EFX (electronics manufacturing) and Motek (production and assembly automation). One ticket gives access to all of them.
