Still on a high after Quantum.Tech World 2026! ✨ It's been incredible watching this event grow since 2018, and this year's edition was on another level entirely. Huge congratulations to Angelina Anderson (Robin) and the whole Quantum.Tech organising team for pulling off the biggest gathering yet of the quantum ecosystem. Steven Metcalfe served as a judge for the Startup Pitchfest, representing Quantum Exponential, and found it genuinely inspiring to see the calibre of innovation on display — all in front of a completely sold-out crowd. Huge congratulations to the winner, Diffraqtion (Johannes Galatsanos), and runner-up QT Sense (Hoang Nguyen ) who both showed exactly the kind of talent and ambition that makes this space so exciting to invest in. It was a privilege for Steven to judge alongside such a strong panel and play a small part in championing the next generation of quantum startups. Events like this are a great reminder of how open and welcoming the quantum investment space is.
