About the Event

Where WA Health Meets Quantum

Quantum Meets MedTech brings together WA’s clinicians, researchers, industry, government and investors to explore how quantum computing, sensing and secure communication can advance healthcare.

From cancer and heart disease to ageing, drug discovery, medical imaging and cybersecurity, quantum technologies are creating powerful new possibilities for research, diagnosis and patient care.

WA has the medical expertise, advanced computing capability and real health challenges to lead. This event connects those strengths with world-leading quantum technology and the people building it.
