In the new Lab & Workshop, visitors to the DLR QCI Innovation Center in Ulm can see how the various quantum computing technologies in the DLR QCI come together: hardware, software and applied research.
The DLR QCI brings together research, industry and start-ups to jointly develop quantum computing technologies. Intensive exchange between all stakeholders is essential. All Hands 2025 is one of several measures taken by the DLR QCI to bring together all key actors in the quantum computing ecosystem.
Greater cooperation between research and industry, stronger involvement of start-ups and a long-term perspective with the state as the first customer – these are the keys to achieving sovereign and competitive quantum computing in Germany. This was the central conclusion of the All Hands 2025 event from the DLR Quantum Computing Initiative (DLR QCI).
In mid-November, the DLR QCI brought together some 250 experts from research, industry and start-ups at the German Aerospace Center's (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) Innovation Center in Ulm. DLR QCI contractors, partners and projects presented their work, networked and posed the key questions: What have we achieved? And in which direction do we need to develop?
With the All Hands event, the DLR QCI brings together its 79 research and development projects every year; with roughly half the participants coming from industry and start-ups, and the remainder from DLR research. On 27 and 28 May 2026, the ecosystem-wide community conference AFQC 2026 will follow in Düsseldorf.
