How do we move quantum technology from groundbreaking research to reliable, manufacturable and scalable products?
Brainport Quantum Day brings together quantum technology companies, high-tech manufacturers, investors, researchers and ecosystem partners to explore what is needed to industrialise quantum technology.
For this fifth edition, Brainport Development and Eindhoven University of Technology are proud to partner with Prodrive Technologies. Throughout the day, leading companies will share practical examples of how quantum hardware is developed, engineered, manufactured and brought closer to market. This event is co-funded by QDNL Brainport Eindhoven.
Date: Monday, 2 November 2026
Time: 10:00 – 17:30
Location: Prodrive Technologies, Eindhoven
From breakthrough technology to industrial scale
Quantum technologies are developing rapidly, but technological performance alone is not enough. Turning quantum innovations into commercial products requires precision engineering, advanced manufacturing, reliable supply chains, scalable production processes and long-term investment.
Brainport Quantum Day 2026 focuses on the partnerships that make this possible.
Through real-world cases, expert discussions and tours of laboratories and manufacturing facilities, the event will explore how quantum companies and established high-tech organisations can work together to accelerate industrialisation.
What to expect
During the day, you will:
- Learn from concrete collaborations between quantum technology companies and high-tech manufacturers.
- Explore the engineering, manufacturing and supply-chain challenges involved in scaling quantum hardware.
- Hear perspectives from investors on financing quantum companies through long development and industrialisation cycles.
- Visit the laboratories and manufacturing facilities of Prodrive Technologies.
- Connect with decision-makers, engineers, entrepreneurs, investors and potential business partners from across the quantum and high-tech ecosystems.
