THINK QUANTUM IS A 2035 PROBLEM?
Your Post-Quantum Deadline Isn’t 2035.
It’s 2028.
The UK’s NCSC guidance expects large organisations to complete discovery and build an initial post-quantum migration plan by 2028.
That’s under 2 years away.
4 NOVEMBER 2026 · LONDON · GET QUANTUM READY
QUANTUM IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK.
2030: Quantum navigation systems targeted for aircraft.
2030: Networked quantum sensing targeted across transport, telecoms, energy and defence.
2030: Quantum-sensing-enabled solutions targeted to benefit every NHS Trust.
What does it mean for your industry?
