From May 5 to 6, 2026, Quantum Photonics will take place for the second time at Messe Erfurt. Following a successful premiere in 2025, experts in quantum and photonics technologies from research, development, design, and application will once again gather for the application-oriented congress and accompanying exhibition.
During the Quantum Photonics congress, the parallel trade exhibition in Hall 2 will provide companies with the opportunity to present their innovative products and services directly to their target audiences.
Registration at Preferential Rates
Companies can already secure their exhibition space for 2026. Particularly attractive: those registering by December 31, 2025, will benefit from an early-bird discount of 10 percent on stand space or package prices. This makes early planning doubly worthwhile and enables participation in this key industry event at favorable conditions.
Table Top Stand Package
The Table Top Area at Quantum Photonics 2026 offers an all-inclusive solution for exhibitors wishing to highlight their products and services in addition to attending the event. Everything from stand construction to furniture is included, allowing for minimal preparation effort and maximum impact.
University Stand Package
For providers of education and training, such as universities and universities of applied sciences, Messe Erfurt offers a specially discounted stand package at Quantum Photonics 2026. The University Package includes stand space, stand construction, basic furnishings, and a presentation slot on the Panel Stage.
Objectives of Quantum Photonics
The objective of Quantum Photonics is to advance the development of quantum technology systems and photonics. Synergies are to be strengthened, and both research and industrial transfer in these fields are to be promoted. The event provides a platform for stakeholders from applied research and industrial application to network more closely, supporting joint research into optical components and systems as well as the pooling and efficient use of resources.
Register Now and Benefit
Preparations for 2026 are underway. Companies that register early can secure the best stand locations and take advantage of attractive early-bird conditions. All information on system stand packages and registration options can be found on the event website.
Parallel Event rapid.tech 3D
rapid.tech 3D, the leading trade fair of the additive manufacturing industry, will take place in parallel with Quantum Photonics from May 5 to 7, 2026. Since additive manufacturing is particularly relevant for many optically based quantum technologies, the close integration of both congress, forum, and networking programs is intended to create synergies for exhibitors and visitors alike.
