Organizer: Bayern Innovativ

Venue: Fraunhofer IIS, Nordostpark 84, 90411 Nürnberg

Language: English

Registration is required — QBN members receive a 50% discount on the participation fee.

The limits of conventional silicon-based computing are becoming increasingly apparent as demands for performance, efficiency, and new functionalities continue to grow. Beyond Silicon 2026: The Future of Computing brings together experts from research and industry to explore emerging computing paradigms that go beyond traditional architectures.

The event focuses on four key approaches shaping the future of computing:

• Quantum Computing – enabling new solutions for complex simulation and optimization problems
• Photonic Computing – leveraging light for high-speed and energy-efficient data processing
• Neuromorphic Computing – inspired by the human brain for low-power, adaptive information processing
• Biological Computing – exploring novel computation mechanisms at the intersection of biology and technology

Through keynote presentations and networking opportunities, participants will gain insights into the current state of development, application potential, and future challenges of these technologies.

As a partner of the event, the Quantum Business Network (QBN) supports the cross-disciplinary exchange and the strengthening of the European deep-tech ecosystem.

QBN members receive a 50% discount on the participation fee. To receive the discount, enter “QBN Code 50%” in the text field at the end of the registration form.

Who should attend:

The event is designed for professionals from industry, research institutions, startups, and public organizations interested in next-generation computing technologies and their applications.
