For quantum researchers curious about what comes after the lab.
The Quantum Innovation Lab (Qilab), organised by Universität Wien | University of Vienna, is a free programme that bridges research and real-world application — from identifying your technology's commercial potential to pitching in front of quantum industry experts.
Open to researchers at all career stages — Master's students, PhD candidates, postdocs, and PIs in quantum science — as well as those from related fields like engineering or computer science with a connection to quantum tech.
The programme includes:
🔬 Bootcamp: August 31 – September 5, 2026 | Bad Ischl
🎤 Demo Day: September 25, 2026 | Vienna
Participation is free for researchers from participating institutions — including researchers from the Universität zu Köln through Gateway Exzellenz Start-up Center der Universität zu Köln. Please note that travel expenditures are not covered.
