Sponsors – International Conference on Quantum Energy

According to the International Energy Agency, each human uses more than 80 GJ of energy per year; this is equivalent to leaving a washing machine continuously running for one year for every person on Earth. This consumption is expected to increase by 28% by 2040. The majority (86%) of this energy comes from fossil fuels. This dependence on fossil fuels comes with major environmental costs, with climate change arguably being the greatest challenge facing our era. Renewable energy offers a possible solution. Renewable energy sources, like solar and wind are not continuous, and therefore energy storage technology or batteries, remain an urgent challenge for further worldwide adoption of renewable energy.

Alongside the need for efficient batteries to store renewable energy, portable batteries make them an essential component in electronic devices. The increasing rate of miniaturisation of electronic devices faces the challenges and opportunities of quantum effects.

ICQE a biennial conference that focuses on the role of quantum technology in meeting future energy challenges and opportunities. This offers sponsors an unprecedented opportunity to establish strategic relationships with industry leaders and thought leaders across all levels of government and the private sector.

Australia is a world leader in quantum science and technology. Investing in a partnership with ICQE will help to strengthen support for the development, commercialisation and adoption of quantum technologies in Australia and the rest of the world.

We are inviting sponsors who are aligned with our purpose, values and brand. We believe in sustainable partnerships, innovation and solving the industry’s biggest challenges together.

Please contact james.quach@csiro.au about sponsorship opportunities.

Conference Foundational Sponsor 2023

Victoria has an impressive track record as a leader in innovation and its reputation as a global player in the quantum technologies sector continues to grow.

The Victorian government supports the transformation of our innovation capabilities into of high-value job creation and encourage businesses’ adoption of leading-edge technologies. This means we engage with emerging fields and capabilities such as quantum energy.

Victoria has made significant investments in quantum technology research and potential discoveries expected to lead to significant jobs growth in the cutting-edge industry.

Through Breakthrough Victoria, the government has backed Infleqtion and Qantum Brilliance as part of its push to establish the state as a global player in the rapidly evolving quantum technologies sector.

More established quantum technologies are supported by a well-connected and collaborative research capability across universities in Victoria. The proximity of research organisations across metropolitan Melbourne represents a natural precinct of innovation with potential for strengthening.

Victoria has a significant strength in quantum sensors and imaging, demonstrated by the advanced fabrication facilities, the research capability in NV Diamond and the early-stage and international companies that seek globally relevant capability, to develop commercial applications in Victoria, for global markets.

As quantum energy research matures, the Victorian government looks forward to our role in facilitating engagement between research, workforce and businesses.
