Overview
Falqon® Systems participated in the Quantum Internet Alliance (QIA) Kickoff and PI+ Meeting 2026, held from 28 September to 01 October 2026. The programme brought together the QIA community working across quantum networking research, technology development and infrastructure as Europe continues to move from laboratory innovation towards integrated systems and deployment-ready quantum technologies.
QIA’s public Community Event on 28–29 September in Lisbon convened researchers, technology developers, industry, policymakers and European initiatives around the theme “A Global Quantum Internet Made in Europe.”
Our CTIO and Co-Founder, Remon Berrevoets, contributed to the opening-day programme, sharing Falqon® Systems’ perspective on the technologies and network architectures required to move quantum communications from research towards scalable, operational infrastructure.
🗓 28 September-01 October 2026
📍 Lisbon, Portugal
Key themes included:
- Quantum networking technologies and architectures
- The transition from research to real-world deployment
- Integration across the quantum networking stack
- Scalable infrastructure for future quantum networks
- Collaboration between research, industry and network operators
- Europe’s pathway towards a global quantum internet
Falqon® Systems contributed to the QIA ecosystem with expertise spanning scalable quantum communication, network architectures and the evolution from operational Quantum Secure Networks (QSN) towards future quantum networking capabilities.
The meeting provided an important forum for the QIA community to align on technical progress, integration pathways and the next stage of Europe’s quantum networking roadmap. For Falqon® Systems, it was an opportunity to contribute a network-first perspective and engage with research and industry partners shaping the infrastructure required for next-generation quantum connectivity.
