Karnataka, particularly Bengaluru, has firmly established itself as a global technology powerhouse, excelling in IT, biotechnology, nanotechnology, and deep-tech startups. Building on this legacy, the Government of Karnataka (GoK) is now spearheading the development of a robust quantum ecosystem in its capital, aligning closely with the Government of India’s National Quantum Mission.

Quantum technologies are already gaining momentum in Bengaluru, with premier institutions such as the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), the Raman Research Institute (RRI), and the International Center for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS) serving as key nodes in national research efforts. However, to fully capitalize on the city’s world-class talent and growing infrastructure, India requires a unified platform to foster collaboration, innovation, and commercialization in quantum science.

With an ambitious vision to inspire young researchers, foster deep-tech startups, and attract global investments, QIB will drive Bengaluru’s transformation into a quantum innovation hub. It is only fitting that the inaugural edition of QIB will take place in 2025—The International Year of Quantum—marking a defining moment for India’s quantum ambitions.

QIB 2025 will feature five major themes, which will be conducted as parallel sessions during the conference.

• Quantum in Computing, finance, and AI
• Quantum in Healthcare
• Quantum in security
• Quantum Peripherals and Hardware
• Quantum in Society and Art
