About the Event

Where Capital Meets
Quantum Innovation

Aligning with the National Quantum Mission's goals, Quantum Samanvay is a one-day, curated platform connecting quantum startups, investors, industry leaders, and ecosystem stakeholders — accelerating investment, collaboration, and commercialisation across India's quantum value chain.

The event is designed to create measurable outcomes — bridging the gap between research and market-ready quantum technologies. Through focused industry-led discussions, Quantum Samanvay aims to generate funding commitments, strategic collaborations, and actionable policy recommendations that position India as a premier destination for quantum innovation.

Post-event, QETCI will sustain the momentum through digital platforms, periodic convenings, and the launch of venture builder and accelerator initiatives within the Indian Quantum Ecosystem.
