Quantum technology is rapidly moving from fundamental research toward industrial applications, emerging as a strategic field for technological sovereignty, national security, and global competitiveness. For Taiwan, leveraging its strengths in semiconductors, photonics, and information and communications technology will be essential to capturing the opportunities created by this new wave of innovation.

The 2026 International Conference on Industrial Technology Innovation (ICITI 2026), themed “A New Era of Quantum Technology: Taiwan–Europe Dialogue on Innovation Strategies and Industrial Applications,” will bring together experts from Taiwan and Europe to share insights into quantum policies, innovation ecosystems, industrialization strategies, and emerging applications.

The conference will also explore Taiwan’s future role in the global quantum technology landscape. Through this dialogue platform, ICITI 2026 seeks to strengthen Taiwan–Europe exchanges in policy, research, and industry, while identifying opportunities for collaboration in technology development, testing and validation, supply chains, and industrial applications. The conference aims to provide forward-looking perspectives for Taiwan’s quantum technology strategy and industrial development.
