QVLS: Quantum Technology from Lower Saxony
Quantum Valley Lower Saxony (QVLS) brings together Lower Saxony’s quantum expertise in science, industry and politics. Together, this network stands for research and transfer of quantum technologies in the global race.
Funded by the Ministry of Science of Lower Saxony and the Volkswagen Foundation, the non-profit association QVLS e.V. shapes the impact of quantum technologies in business and society.
Whether a public event, conference or supra-regional cooperation: QVLS invests in long-term partnerships and a vibrant quantum community. In addition to the transfer of scientific expertise to start-ups and established companies, QVLS is involved in the education and training of the future quantum workforce.
HANNOVER MESSE 2025 Recap
After the world’s largest industrial trade fair HANNOVER MESSE 2025, we can look back on a dynamic week:
In addition to our participation in the joint stand for quantum technology, where we presented exhibits from partners from the future cluster QVLS iLabs, insightful discussions with quantum specialists and key players from Germany and Canada were among the highlights.
We initiated discussions and saw insightful presentations that explored the exciting intersections of the Canadian and German quantum ecosystems. We received insights from a number of professors about their role in their start-ups and examples of commercialization through transfer.
Another key highlight of the fair was the engagement of our policy makers who reaffirmed their commitment to quantum innovation in Lower Saxony.
