Quantum programs today represent a transformative technological paradigm, establishing the foundation for advancing diverse scientific disciplines—computing, communications, cryptography, cybersecurity, and materials science. The strategic imperative to champion this domain as a priority for BRICS cooperation was affirmed in the final declaration of the XVII BRICS Summit.
Designed as a catalyst for progress, the Forum will galvanize the formulation of concrete initiatives to advance quantum technologies, harmonize educational and technological standards, foster a collaborative innovation ecosystem capable of ensuring sustainable development, and cultivate the specialized expertise essential to navigating the digital era's evolving challenges.
The gathering will convene distinguished representatives from government ministries, academic institutions, business enterprises, and industrial sectors across all over the BRICS member states.

As a global leader in nuclear technologies, Rosatom is actively expanding into new frontiers that address some of the world’s most pressing challenges. Quantum technology is one of these strategic areas. Russia has already developed prototypes of quantum computers, is advancing dedicated software solutions, building a national quantum education ecosystem, and launching real-world applications of quantum computing.
We see quantum technologies as a key driver of global progress. This is why the time has come to develop a shared BRICS framework for collaboration in this field — building on the foundation of the BRICS Nuclear Energy Platform initiated by Rosatom. We invite Forum participants to join this dialogue and contribute to shaping joint initiatives that will strengthen national economies, improve quality of life, and support the sustainable future of our planet.
Director General of Rosatom State Corporation

Russia has a long-standing tradition of excellence in quantum physics. This scientific foundation has enabled the country to establish a strong global position in quantum computing prototypes and quantum software development. Today, Russia’s quantum technology programs bring together leading research institutions, universities, and industry players, with strong coordination supported by state corporations. Russia is actively engaged in the global quantum ecosystem, collaborating with international partners who share a common interest in advancing this field.
Quantum technologies represent a powerful resource for the future of science, industry, and markets. The BRICS Quantum Technologies Forum is expected to create new opportunities for collaboration in research and education, leading to tangible projects and initiatives.

The ATOM Museum is a state-of-the-art educational and exhibition complex dedicated to nuclear energy. With a total area of over 25,000 square meters, it hosts the largest and most advanced nuclear energy exhibition in Russia and can accommodate more than 2,000 visitors at a time.
Quantum Technologies are paving the way into the "Plateau of Productivity" This summer, in early June, the first BRICS quantum technology forum will be held in Moscow. As expected, the delegations of the alliance member states will be joined by participants from twelve partner countries. They will discuss ways of scientific cooperation in the field of quantum technologies, possible areas of their practical application, as well as common technological and educational standards.
Russia will held the BRICS International Forum on Quantum Technologies in 2026 The thesis on the relevance of quantum technologies was noted in the final declaration of the BRICS Summit, and the decision to hold the international forum on quantum technologies in Russia had been added to the BRICS Calendar of Activities for 2026.
Welcome to the BRICS Quantum Forum The international forum on quantum technologies will be held in Russia in 2026 – organized by Rosatom in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation… Rosatom is a key stakeholder behind Russia’s national quantum technology ecosystem, which includes academic institutions, universities, industrial companies, and startups. Under the agreement with the Russian government, Rosatom has been responsible for quantum computing since 2020, and from 2026, the corporation will also oversee the development of quantum sensors.
