The NQCC’s annual UK Quantum Hackathon aims to demonstrate how quantum computing can solve real-world problems by bringing together talented people from across the value chain, with the objectives to:

• Connect the UK quantum ecosystem through networking and collaboration throughout the event
• Understand the opportunities and limitations of quantum computing by demonstrating the current capabilities of the technology
• Explore a broad range of use cases for quantum computing
• Enable aspiring practitioners to develop their quantum computing programming and applications skills
• Showcase the breadth of technology available currently and enable a broad range of users to access these tools

This year, in recognition and celebration of the UN’s declaration of 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, the 2025 UK quantum Hackathon will highlight applications of quantum computing for societal benefit. To this end, we are particularly encouraging submissions that align with and advance the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. 

Use case submissions for this year’s hackathon will open following the webinar on 27th March 2025. Successful organisations will have the opportunity to work on their use case with a team at the event to develop and test solutions on quantum computers. We welcome submissions from businesses, public sector, third sector, governmental, and higher education organisations.
