Switzerland's Role in the International Year of Quantum – SQI at the Swiss Quantum Days 2025
The Swiss Quantum Initiative (SQI) is participating in the Swiss Quantum Days in Arosa with three events: an update on the initiative by Nicolas Gisin, President of the Swiss Quantum Commission, a roundtable on "Education and Workforce" and "Private & Public Investments in Quantum" and a panel discussion on "International Collaboration" and "The Societal Impact of Quantum Technologies."

In his presentation, Nicolas Gisin, President of the Swiss Quantum Commission (SQC), highlights the SQI's past successes and future activities and challenges.
In the subsequent roundtable, also chaired by Nicolas Gisin, representatives from government, industry, politics, and research will discuss key topics such as talent development and investments in quantum technologies in Switzerland.
The panel discussion, moderated by Marieke Hood (GESDA), will feature Nicole Schaad (SERI), Klaus Ensslin (ETH Zurich), Parisa Fallahi (Basel Precision Instruments GmbH), and Grégoire Ribordy (ID Quantique). Together with the audience, they will explore international collaboration in the field of quantum and the societal impact of quantum technologies.
These two events strengthen the quantum ecosystem in Switzerland and also mark the official launch of the International Year of Quantum in Switzerland. The aim is to foster exchange within the quantum ecosystem and raise awareness that developments in quantum technologies both influence and are influenced by international collaboration, political frameworks, and public discourse.
