Finding the role of quantum in a commercial world.

Join us for the Quantum Pitchfest, the high-energy finale of Quantum.Tech Europe 2025, spotlighting the next generation of European quantum technology startups.

In this live pitch competition, 10 early-stage quantum ventures will showcase cutting-edge innovations—from quantum computing and cryptography to sensing, simulation, and scalable quantum hardware.

A must-attend for investors, researchers, and industry leaders, this is where science, business, and vision collide on the main stage.

DEADLINE: 18th July

How it works

Quantum Pitchfest is designed to be fast-paced, dynamic, and highly engaging. A curated group of 10 high-potential startups will take the stage, each given 5 minutes to pitch their breakthrough quantum technology to a live audience of investors, researchers, and industry leaders. Immediately after each pitch, judges will have 2 minutes to ask questions and dive deeper into the startup's vision and viability.

The event will conclude with a live announcement of the winners, who will receive exclusive mentorship from Qubits Ventures,  via:

• Frequent one-on-one meetings with the start-up team
• In-depth review and coaching on their pitch delivery
• AI-powered pitch deck analysis using Qubits Ventures’ proprietary software, offering actionable feedback to optimise the deck for VC success
