Pasqal at World Quantum Day Riyadh 2026: Driving Quantum Adoption in Saudi Arabia
World Quantum Day brings together global leaders across research, industry, and government to accelerate the adoption of quantum technologies and explore their real-world impact. As part of this global initiative, Pasqal will participate in World Quantum Day Riyadh from 7th to 16th April 2026, hosted at the King Salman Science Oasis.
The event will bring together leading stakeholders from academia, industry, and government to explore how quantum technologies can drive innovation and economic development within the Saudi ecosystem.
A key highlight of the program is the panel discussion “Building the Saudi Quantum Engine: From Research to Use Cases,” which focuses on translating foundational research into real-world applications. The session will explore how Saudi Arabia is developing its quantum ecosystem through infrastructure, strategic partnerships, and concrete industry use cases.
This discussion builds on Pasqal’s ongoing deployment of Saudi Arabia’s first quantum computer, developed in collaboration with Aramco, marking a key milestone in the region’s quantum ecosystem.
