Quantum Technology Hackathon
QUANTUM BOOST 2025
Quantum technologies are no longer the future – they’re ready to transform security, medicine, finance, energy, and communication. The Nordic-Baltic region has brilliant minds across science and industry. Quantum Boost is about bringing them together to solve real challenges and build a community that drives impact. This is where you come in – we want you on board!

What will you gain?
- Work with top scientists, innovators, and quantum technology leaders.
- Join a community that combines academia and business.
- Get hands-on experience tackling real-world quantum cases – not just theory.
- Put your organization on the international quantum map.
- Build a value proposition that can attract partners, investors, or collaborators.
Why join now?
This isn’t a typical academic conference. For the first time in Baltic states, a quantum hackathon gives you the chance to connect, create, and compete at the heart of Nordic-Baltic quantum innovation. If you want to move from theory to practice in quantum, you don’t want to miss this.
Join the “Quantum Security Navigation Challenge”, build GPS-independent, quantum-secure navigation for defense and pitch at the main event for an invitation to negotiate up to €500 000 investment with BSV Ventures or an invitation to negotiate up to €750 000 co-investment with Coinvest Capital, with a follow-on potential up to €2 000 000.
Combine quantum sensors (magnetometers, quantum accelerometers, etc.) with post‑quantum cryptography/quantum communications to locate without GPS or as a hardened backup. This challenge intentionally leaves a broad solution space so teams can leverage diverse expertise get ready to create one or several solutions of your choice!
All challenges will be published on October 9.
