Quantum Forum 2026 to Be Held in Riyadh on Aug 30
The city of Riyadh is set to host Quantum Forum 2026 on 30 August 2026, an industry-focused event dedicated to quantum technologies, innovation, and workforce development. The forum is organized by the Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Saudi Arabia (C4IR Saudi Arabia) and hosted at King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) in Riyadh.
Held under the theme “Shaping the Quantum Workforce,” the forum aims to explore the opportunities and impacts of quantum technologies across strategic sectors. The programme features panel discussions bringing together stakeholders from government, industry, academia, and the wider innovation ecosystem. Participation will include international quantum technology companies and experts, alongside at least one representative from a Saudi-based quantum computing firm as a panel speaker.
The event is described as an in-person, all-day gathering, with King Salman Science Oasis (KSSO) in Riyadh listed among the announced venues for the 30 August programme.
Quantum Forum 2026 is part of a broader World Quantum Day 2026 initiative, which also includes a quantum exhibition and educational activities held in Riyadh from 7 to 16 April 2026. These activities are open to students and families, offering the wider community an accessible introduction to quantum science.
The initiative reflects the Kingdom’s growing focus on advanced technologies and building local expertise in emerging fields. For residents and families interested in science and innovation, it offers a rare chance to engage directly with cutting-edge developments taking shape locally.
The available announcements do not state any ticket price or registration fee, nor whether public attendance is free or paid. They also do not list any requirement to use government digital platforms for registration or access.
