The Quantum Insider News
The ITU and The Quantum Insider Launch the “Quantum World Tour” as Part of the Global Quantum Ecosystem Series.
The Quantum Insider (TQI) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) announced the launch of the historic “Quantum World Tour,” a global effort that will begin in September 2025. This public series, which was introduced at the AI for Good Summit, intends to highlight national quantum ecosystems across the globe and promote openness, cooperation, and knowledge exchange within the quickly developing quantum community.

A New Era of Global Quantum Collaboration
A “living blueprint” for creating quantum ecosystems, the Quantum World Tour is more than just a set of activities. It looks for actual instances of how nations are turning strategic objectives into workable infrastructure, talent development, and commercialization initiatives. At a time when national agendas, business plans, and research priorities are being influenced by quantum technologies more and more, the program reflects a common understanding that developing quantum technology is a global endeavour rather than a race to the top.
The tour provides a wealth of chances for countries just starting to build their quantum ecosystems to learn from other countries’ experiences and roadmaps. More developed countries, on the other hand, have a forum to showcase their leadership, exchange best practices, and interact openly with international players. By demonstrating how both seasoned leaders and up-and-coming players are establishing the groundwork for quantum readiness, the series will shed light on how innovation becomes tangible.
Inside the Quantum World Tour Sessions
Every 90-minute digital forum session of the Quantum World Tour will aim to strike a balance between strategic planning and practical execution. In order to present a comprehensive picture of each nation’s quantum initiatives, the country-specific episodes will include a number of crucial segments:
- Opening Ecosystem Brief: This segment will frame the country’s quantum activities, including details on funding, national strategy, and institutional infrastructure.
- Expert Panel: This panel will present a range of viewpoints on the ecosystem’s prospects and challenges, including those of top scholars, business leaders, and government officials.
- Startup Showcase: Early-stage enterprises’ perspectives will showcase innovative business practices and entrepreneurial endeavours.
- Workforce Segment: This segment will concentrate on endeavours to develop quantum talent, such as outreach activities in the community, academic programs, and public-private partnerships.
- Interactive elements that enable visitors from across the world to ask questions and interact with the experts directly are known as audience Q&A and engagement.
The full series will be accessible worldwide and free to attend in order to guarantee broad accessibility. Moreover, episodes will be preserved and subsequently made accessible, guaranteeing their durability and significance as a reference for the quantum community.

Spotlight on Pioneering Nations
Malta will be the focus of the first spotlight of the Quantum World Tour. Malta has strategically positioned itself as a safe and flexible contributor to the developing quantum network in Europe by utilizing the historic PRISM quantum communication project, its national policy, and investments coordinated with the EU.
The tour is scheduled to visit a wide variety of national quantum ecosystems after Malta, including China, Russia, South Korea, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, and Australia, with many more still in the planning stages. The initiative’s collaborative spirit and the global character of quantum breakthroughs are highlighted by its wide geographic span.
The Driving Forces: ITU and The Quantum Insider
The Quantum World Tour is a joint venture between two prominent players in the technology industry:
The Quantum Insider (TQI):
TQI is acknowledged as a top provider of market intelligence and data for the quantum technology sector as a Resonance firm. At the nexus of research, policy, and commercialisation, TQI offers comprehensive coverage through a global network of analysts, journalists, and advisers. Cierra Choucair, a pivotal player from TQI, is the Strategic Content Director at Resonance and co-host of the Quantum World Tour. She bridges technical intricacy with industry knowledge as a journalist and data analyst covering quantum computing and future technologies. A popular newsletter on quantum research and trends, “The Daily Qubit,” is also written by her.
International Telecommunication Union (ITU):
The UN’s ITU specializes in ICT. The first UN agency was the International Telegraph Union, created on May 17, 1865. The ITU was renamed in 1932 after expanding to cover telephone and radio technology. With its headquarters located in Geneva, Switzerland, it has 193 member states as well as more than 900 businesses, academic institutions, and international organizations that are all involved in promoting ICT innovation.
Promoting the common worldwide use of the radio spectrum, encouraging international collaboration in satellite orbit assignment, creating and coordinating global technical standards, and enhancing telecommunications infrastructure in underdeveloped nations are all important tasks for the ITU. Each of the three main sectors of the organization, Radiocommunication (ITU-R), Standardization (ITU-T), and Development (ITU-D), manages a distinct facet of telecommunications. The ITU’s Plenipotentiary Conference, Council, and Secretariat are in charge of running the organization. Doreen Bogdan-Martin is the first woman to serve as Secretary-General.
Through their relationship, the ITU and The Quantum Insider combine the ITU’s global reach and regulatory experience with TQI’s in-depth knowledge of the quantum business and specialized market intelligence.
