The Quantum World Tour, a global initiative launched by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in partnership with The Quantum Insider, will host its next episode on November 7, 2025, spotlighting Brazil, one of the world’s most dynamic emerging quantum ecosystems.
The Brazil episode will take place online from 14:00 to 15:30 CEST, hosted on the AI for Good Neural Network and live-streamed on YouTube. This 90-minute session will explore how Brazil is transforming its scientific excellence, industrial capacity, and regional leadership into a coordinated national quantum effort.
Brazil’s Quantum Ecosystem: Vision, Science, and Scale
As a nation of bold ideas and deep scientific tradition, Brazil is actively developing expertise in quantum technology. With decades of strength in physics, mathematics, and computing and a growing network of universities, startups, and government programs, Brazil is building the foundations of a vibrant and globally connected quantum ecosystem.
The Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI) has placed quantum among its national priorities, supporting new research centers, funding programs, and international partnerships to accelerate adoption and training. Brazil’s leading academic institutions, such as the University of Campinas (Unicamp), São Paulo State University (UNESP), and the Federal University of Pará (UFPA), are advancing research in quantum communication, computing, and materials science.
On the industrial front, Brazilian innovators are driving commercialization through startups like QuaTI, co-founded by Felipe Fanchini, and Kryptus, led by Roberto Gallo, which apply quantum principles to secure communication and advanced computing. Public-private partnerships are extending this momentum, connecting research excellence with strategic sectors such as energy, agriculture, and cybersecurity.
Together, these efforts reflect Brazil’s model of linking policy, science, and entrepreneurship to shape a sovereign and scalable quantum future for Latin America and beyond.
