Female FutureTech Summit 2025

The women's network meeting as part of Quantum Effects 2025!

Women are continuing to make strides in STEM fields, including the quantum and hydrogen technology sectors. More and more women are taking on leadership roles and making a significant contribution to breaking down biases.

To further promote this positive development and strengthen the vital role of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, this networking event is being organised once again.

We are delighted to welcome women’s networks from the quantum sector and STEM fields, as well as exhibiting companies from Quantum Effects and hy-fcell. We especially look forward to welcoming students and professionals who are passionate about this forward-looking field.

The focus of the 2025 networking event will be on the latest developments in quantum technology and the hydrogen economy. We warmly welcome women’s networks from these sectors, alongside exhibiting companies from Quantum Effects and hy-fcell. In addition, we are excited to engage with students and professionals who are active or interested in these innovative industries.

The summit will take place on 7 October 2025 at the ICS. Further details regarding the venue and schedule will be announced in due course. Admission is open to all attendees with a trade fair ticket.
