Join Oxfordshire’s Regional Defence and Security Cluster (OBC-RDSC), and Cybersecurity Cluster (OxCyber CIC) for a joint panel discussion on the evolving intersection of quantum, cyber, defence and national security industries.

The expert panel will introduce the foundations of quantum technology before exploring:
Cyber–quantum threats: What are the risks to encryption, communications, and critical systems?
Dual-use opportunities: What are the opportunities quantum technologies offer for national security, defence, secure infrastructure, and civilian applications in the UK?
Skills & talent: How can we build the workforces needed in the security, cyber and growing quantum industries to fully realise these opportunities?
Regional leadership: What is Oxfordshire’s role through the Q-Ci3 Hub and the NQCC at Harwell, alongside clusters such as OxCyber and OBC-RDSC in the coming years?
The 40-minute discussion will be followed by a networking reception to connect researchers, SMEs, and practitioners shaping this emerging domain.
