French Singaporean
Quantum Symposia

5-7 NOV. 25

Building strategic quantum partnerships between Singapore and France. 

About the symposia series

The French-Singaporean Quantum Symposia (FSQS 2024, 2025 and 2026) aims to build strategic quantum partnerships between Singapore and France. The series of three events will foster and consolidate long-standing synergies between academics, representatives of the new quantum industry and end-users of quantum technologies in France and Singapore, building on the long-standing academic collaborations between both countries. FSQS will contribute to map the respective strengths and complementarities of both ecosystems, to optimise scientific collaborations and business opportunities.

We will alternate the location of the FSQS to maximise their impact:
