Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) promotes quantum science and quantum technologies in Bavaria with the primary goal of developing and operating competitive quantum computers. It connects research, industry, funders, and the public: Munich Quantum Valley promotes an efficient knowledge transfer from research to industry, establishes a network with international reach and provides educational offers for schools, universities and companies.
Munich Quantum Valley is supported by the Bavarian state government with funds from the Hightech Agenda Bayern.

On 14 July 2025, the Walter Schottky Institute (WSI) of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) opened its doors as part of the event series “MQV-Einblicke – 100 Jahre Quantenwissenschaften und woran wir heute forschen”. During two lectures and a guided tour of clean rooms and laboratories, visitors were able to learn about the generation and detection of individual light particles and their important role in quantum technologies.
The European Union has approved SUPREME, a major new pilot line to industrialize superconducting quantum chip fabrication, coordinated by VTT and funded through the EU Chips Joint Undertaking. As part of this initiative involving 23 partners across eight EU member states, one of the three central fabrication sites will be hosted in Germany, specifically in Garching and the Munich area, supported by a strong consortium of German research institutions and technology developers.
On 5 and 6 July 2025, Munich Quantum Valley took part in the Island Festival of the Deutsches Museum and gave interested visitors an insight into the world of quantum computers.
Last week, the Munich Quantum Alumni Network held its second Summer Networking event. Current and former members of the scientific community gathered at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ) in sunny weather to exchange ideas, refresh long-standing relationships, and make new contacts.
Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) and Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology (MCQST), together with other local partners, are jointly organizing the "Quantum Talents Symposium" on 24 and 25 November 2025 in Munich. Early-career quantum talents are invited to apply to be awarded an invitation as a Symposium finalist.
On 1 July, the Max Planck Society's Semiconductor Laboratory (HLL) invited guests to its new premises on the Garching research campus as part of the “MQV-Einblicke – 100 Jahre Quantenwissenschaften und woran wir heute forschen” event series. Jelena Nincovic, long-time head of the laboratory, took visitors on an exciting journey into the world of high-precision semiconductor technology and the work carried out in the cleanroom.
From June 24 to 27, 2025, World of Quantum, the world's largest trade fair for quantum technology, took place in Munich. Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) made a strong showing with its own stage program at its booth and an expanded ecosystem area together with member institutions, industry partners, and start-ups.
MQV and its members join the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the first development of quantum mechanics. All our public events related to this anniversary can be found here.
