This town hall event will gather information from Quantum World Congress participants for the 2026 – 2030 National Strategic Plan for Advanced Manufacturing, which guides Federal efforts to enhance the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing. The plan is revised every four years to provide new federal priorities in advanced manufacturing research and development, aiming to create jobs, boost economic growth across various sectors, and strengthen national security.

This town hall session augments an online Request for Information (RFI), enabling participants to voice their views and catalyze deeper input into priority areas.

As quantum computing rapidly evolves towards fault-tolerant systems and stronger fidelity, the integration of quantum computers with classical computers is increasingly essential for the effective use of quantum computing and improving the quality of quantum workflows. Understanding the importance of this shift and exploring ways to take advantage of this integration is the purpose of this workshop, as it is specifically applied to the healthcare and life sciences industry. AI will continue to be a critical component of the computing landscape. Artificial intelligence and high-performance computing, together with quantum computing, bring the next generation of computing to the world and drive the data centers of the future.

Join us for an interactive workshop exploring how quantum computing can transform the energy industry. Hear from leading innovators at Infleqtion, NVIDIA, and the World Energy Council as they share insights on scaling quantum technologies and tackling the growing energy demands of AI. The session will then transition to the Quantum for Energy Challenge, where participants will collaborate to identify breakthrough use cases, such as long-duration energy storage, advanced materials, and fusion, that could redefine the future of energy. Don’t miss this opportunity to shape the next big leap in energy, and quantum, innovation!

Discover how RPI and IBM are advancing the world’s first quantum-centric supercomputer (QCSC), combining quantum and classical HPC to push the boundaries of real-world problem solving. This session will cover RPI’s 127-qubit Eaglesystem, the QCSC architecture, and applications in chemistry, multiscale modeling, and quantum simulation—key steps toward achieving quantum advantage.

This masterclass is designed to provide a strategic deep dive into the business and technology of the quantum sensing revolution. This intensive session offers a unique blend of market intelligence and real-world application insights. Participants will gain access to GQI's proprietary frameworks for analyzing the quantum sensing market, including the GQI framework, the sensing Impactometer, and the Quantum Market Model for Sensing.

This workshop is ideal for a broad audience, including aerospace engineers, quantum physicists, telecommunications executives, national security professionals, and investors seeking to understand how this convergence will shape the industries of the future. Join us to explore how the synergy between quantum and space will define the next technological era.
