World Tech Conference (WTC) 2026

About this event

World Tech Conference (WTC) 2026 is a multi-day technology and science forum focused on the convergence of advanced AI with physics and other “exponential technologies.” The event convenes scientists, industry, institutions, and innovators to discuss standards, governance, risks/opportunities, and real-world applications across AI, quantum computing, energy systems, materials/photonics, blockchain/Web3 infrastructure, and molecular simulation. It emphasizes the intersection of the “technological gate” (engineering progress) and the “physical gate” (fundamental laws of nature), positioning itself as a long-term platform for international collaboration and scientific-technical governance. The conference highlights partnerships including IonQ and D-Wave (via “Q-Alliance”), with plans for demonstrations and access to quantum computing-related infrastructures and operational opportunities.
