On 23 September in Paris, Quobly, NVIDIA and TERATEC will bring together semiconductor manufacturers, researchers and public officials for SIAQ, an event framed less as a showcase for yet another quantum technology than as a discussion of the decisive industrial challenge ahead: who will be able to manufacture, control and integrate millions of qubits?
The meeting reflects a shift in the quantum race. The central issue is no longer simply scientific progress, but industrial scalability — the ability to move from experimental devices to fault-tolerant quantum computers. In that context, the semiconductor industry is being pulled directly into the quantum value chain, with fabrication, control electronics and system integration becoming the key battlegrounds.
SIAQ is positioned as a forum where these questions will be addressed by the actors most likely to shape the next phase of the market: chipmakers, academic researchers and policymakers. The underlying message is that the winners of the quantum era will not necessarily be those who first demonstrate a quantum device, but those who can build the industrial infrastructure required to produce and operate it at scale.
