Built for Smart City Technologists and City Leaders

Smart city infrastructure carries a structural quantum risk: IoT devices deployed today will operate for 10-20 years, long after cryptographically relevant quantum computers are expected to arrive. City-scale PKI managing millions of endpoints adds further complexity to migration planning.

All sessions are delivered by subject-matter experts with direct experience in smart city systems and quantum technology. Each session is fully vendor-agnostic and configurable to your organisation's technical level and procurement obligations.

Quantum Use-Case Workshops

Five structured sessions covering the highest-impact quantum applications for smart city teams. Each session combines technical depth with operational context.

PQC for Smart City IoT Infrastructure and Sensor Networks

Technical workshop for smart city architects, IoT platform engineers, and municipal IT security teams. Covers post-quantum cryptography migration for city-scale IoT deployments: traffic management sensor networks, smart metering infrastructure, environmental monitoring systems, and connected lighting. Addresses the specific constraints of resource-limited IoT devices and the ETSI EN 303 645 security baseline requirements under quantum threat.

Quantum Security for Urban Mobility and Traffic Management Systems

Covers the quantum cryptographic exposure of urban traffic management systems, adaptive signal control systems, tunnel and bridge sensor infrastructure, and urban air mobility communication frameworks. Addresses UTMC standards, SCOOT/SCATS system security, and PQC migration for ANPR and tolling systems that store vehicle movement data over long retention periods.

Learn More

Quantum Optimisation for City-Scale Resource and Utility Management

Examines quantum optimisation applications for city-scale resource management: water distribution network pressure scheduling, district heating and cooling system dispatch, waste collection route optimisation, and multi-modal urban transport network design. Covers QUBO formulations for municipal operations problems, quantum-inspired approaches available today, and roadmap milestones relevant to smart city technology procurement cycles.

Quantum-Safe Public Data Infrastructure and Open Data Security

Addresses the quantum cryptographic obligations of city data platforms: open data APIs, citizen data portals, inter-agency data sharing agreements, and city data exchange platforms operating under standards such as FIWARE NGSI-LD and TM Forum Open APIs. Covers GDPR and NIS2 obligations for local authorities, cryptographic integrity of published open datasets, and how cities can meet emerging PQC standards in public procurement requirements.

Learn More

Quantum Computing for Urban Planning, Simulation, and Digital Twins

Covers quantum computing applications in urban simulation: quantum-enhanced agent-based modelling for population and mobility simulation, quantum optimisation for land use planning scenarios, and quantum machine learning for city digital twin predictive analytics. Addresses where quantum simulation provides genuine uplift over classical approaches for urban planning teams and the data requirements for viable quantum urban models.

Deep-Dive Sessions

Advanced briefings for city authority leadership. These sessions address governance obligations, procurement requirements, and the regulatory implications of quantum technology for long-lifetime city infrastructure.

Quantum Security Governance for City Authorities and Smart City Programmes

City council technology leads and elected officials on smart city boards In person or online

Executive and governance briefing for city council technology leads, digital programme directors, and elected officials on smart city boards. Covers quantum security obligations under NIS2 and national critical infrastructure frameworks, the governance implications of deploying quantum-vulnerable technology in long-lifetime city infrastructure, and how to embed quantum readiness requirements into smart city procurement and partner contracts.
