The annual Fraunhofer AISEC networking event on post-quantum cryptography

The development of quantum computers is advancing rapidly, and with it the risk that they will crack conventional encryption methods. Companies, public authorities, and the entire digital infrastructure need to take action.

With its Center of post-quantum cryptography excellence, Fraunhofer AISEC is driving the transition to post-quantum-secure methods with the aim of quickly bringing secure and practical solutions into use.

For years, the “PQC Update” networking event has been the central platform for exchange between research, industry, users, and politics on the topic of post-quantum cryptography.

On May 4 and 5, 2026, we will provide you with exciting insights into the current state of post-quantum cryptography:

•    Keynotes on European efforts related to PQC

•    From practice – from international strategies to concrete projects in Germany

•    From research – trustworthy hardware and measurable cryptoagility

•    Migration to PQC – gradual transition while maintaining compliance and security

Exchange ideas with experts and join us in shaping a post-quantum-secure digital future.

Partners of the event are the ThinkNet Quantum Technology from Bayern Innovativ, the Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. (GI), the Security Network Munich, and the MÜNCHNER KREIS.
