Lunch Chat: SQIN - The Swiss Quantum Industry Network

Tue, 10.02.2026, online



We are pleased to announce and invite you to one of our weekly online zoom events.
 

SQIN - The Swiss Quantum Industry Network

The Swiss Quantum Industry Network (SQIN) is a Swissmem working group that provides a focused exchange platform for industrial stakeholders engaged in quantum technologies and related fields. SQIN brings together representatives from established companies, SMEs and technology providers to discuss the industrial sector's needs, market perspectives and the practical challenges associated with quantum computing, communication and sensing.

In the context of the Swissphotonics Lunch Chats series, this presentation will introduce the role and activities of SQIN, clarifying its positioning within Swissmem. The presentation aims to offer an industry-oriented perspective, emphasize areas of mutual interest between the quantum and photonics communities, and encourage photonics companies within emerging quantum value chains to engage with SQIN.
