Quantum Transition: From Awareness to Action
Coffee, croissants and expert discussion in Geneva.
The transition to quantum-safe cryptography poses a tangible risk and governance challenge to the resilience of banks and insurance companies.
In Communication 05/2026, FINMA emphasises the importance of financial institutions anticipating the risks associated with quantum computing and preparing for the transition.
But how can you move from awareness to action? Where should you start, which risks should you prioritise, and how can you develop a realistic roadmap?
On 26 November 2026 in Geneva, SPIE ICS and its partner QIZ are inviting you to join a small-group discussion over coffee and croissants. Please note: this event will be held in French.
