Quantum World Congress 2026

The Korea Institute of Science and Technology is helping Korean quantum technology startups build partnerships with American counterparts at the Quantum World Congress 2026. The initiative aims to give South Korea's emerging quantum companies access to U.S. markets, investors and research collaborators, strengthening transpacific ties in a sector both countries view as strategically important.

South Korea's Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) is moving to accelerate the global expansion of Korean quantum deep-tech startups through its participation in Quantum World Congress 2026. The initiative is aimed at connecting homegrown quantum companies with international investors, partners and customers. Details on the specific startups and programmes involved have not yet been made widely available.

A delegation from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology attended Quantum World Congress 2026 to promote the country's quantum startup ecosystem and help Korean companies enter the United States market. The institute presented its support programs and connected domestic quantum firms with American partners and investors, part of a broader effort to expand Korea's footprint in the global quantum technology industry.
