Briefings

Metrosert, Estonia's Applied Research Centre and National Metrology Institute, invites participants from the Nordic and Baltic countries to apply for QEst Hack 2026 in Tallinn from November 11-13. Five companies will be selected to test quantum algorithms on real business problems, with applications open until October 11. The hackathon involves teams of IT specialists, students, and researchers working with international mentors to explore optimization and simulation challenges. The inaugural QEst Hack in 2025 was won by Enefit, which secured a three-month collaboration with Université de Sherbrooke to test quantum computing in the energy sector. Participation is free and the working language is English.
