A high-level conference focused on quantum security and technological convergence took place in Davos yesterday, bringing together over 17 global leaders from IBM, Cloudflare, Imperial College London, and SandboxAQ to address how quantum computing is disrupting existing trust models across government, finance, and critical infrastructure. Titled “Trust and Convergence 2026: The Year of Quantum Security,” the event examined urgent challenges including post-quantum cryptography deployment, protection against “harvest-now, decrypt-later” cyber threats, and the evolution of digital identity systems for a post-quantum world. The conference aligned with the World Economic Forum 2026’s broader theme of fostering dialogue during a period of significant geopolitical and technological transformation, with discussions led by cybersecurity experts, futurists, and technology entrepreneurs emphasizing the need for coordinated public-private leadership to ensure AI and autonomous systems remain transparent, accountable, and aligned with human values as space infrastructure becomes a critical layer of global digital security. The event explored how artificial intelligence, quantum computing, cybersecurity, and autonomous systems are converging into a single, interdependent global ecosystem in which trust must be engineered, verified, and protected by design.
