📣 Join us in Rotterdam as QCFR takes quantum secure communication to the next level! 🇳🇱 On 18 June 2026, Q*Bird, together with Eurofiber, Cisco, CGI, INSPIR8ION and supported by the Port of Rotterdam, Municipality of Rotterdam, InnovationQuarter and the Province of Zuid-Holland, will officially launch the Quantum Communication Fieldlab Rotterdam - QCFR (QCFR). The fieldlab builds on operational quantum secure communication deployments already established in the Netherlands, including scalable Measurement Device Independent Quantum Key Distribution (MDI-QKD) networking, helping translate deployment experience into broader adoption. "The future of quantum secure communications will not be defined by technology alone. It requires collaboration between technology providers, infrastructure operators, end users and public stakeholders. QCFR brings together the organisations needed to translate technology into trusted operational infrastructure!" - Dr. Ingrid Romijn, CEO and Co-Founder, Q*Bird. Building on the Rotterdam quantum communication initiatives and the QUEST project*, the fieldlab represents the next step towards a trusted, operational quantum secure infrastructure in the Netherlands and Europe. The programme includes the official opening by Meindert Stolk, Deputy of the Province of Zuid-Holland and portfolio holder for Economy and Innovation, followed by a panel discussion with representatives from Eurofiber, Q*Bird, CGI, Cisco and INSPIR8ION on the transition from vision to implementation 🗓️ Thursday, 18 June 2026  📍 De Loft XL by RDM Next Rotterdam 🕘 10:00 AM - 13:00 CEST (Arrival from 09:30 AM CEST) 🔗 Register here: https://www.qcfr.eu/ 👉 Meet the Q*Birders on-site! 👋 Come say hello to: ✓ Dr. Ingrid Romijn - CEO and Co-Founder, Q*Bird ✓ Alex Mitrov - Commercial Strategy & Partnerships Lead, Q*Bird ✓ Milu Sini Lal, MSc., - Marketing and Communication Specialist, Q*Bird Join us in Rotterdam for this important milestone! *Disclaimer: This project is financed by ERDF (European Regional Development Fund), Kansen voor West and Co-Financed by the European Union. #QBird #QCFR2026 #quantumcommunication #quantumnetworking #QuantumSecurity #MDIQKD
