World of Quantum is the leading international trade fair for quantum technologies, held at the Munich Trade Fair Centre alongside the wider LASER World of PHOTONICS event. Coverage extends across the full commercial spectrum of the field: quantum computing hardware and control electronics, quantum cryptography and secure communication, quantum sensing and metrology, imaging, and emerging medical and industrial applications. The 2027 edition runs for four days in Munich, Germany, combining exhibition halls with a technical forum programme and application panels. The exhibitor list spans established instrumentation manufacturers, national research institutes and a growing cohort of quantum startups, which makes the event unusually useful for seeing where laboratory technology has become a purchasable product. Attendees gain a grounded view of commercial readiness across quantum subfields, direct supplier contact, and access to networking sessions aimed at connecting research groups with industry. For engineers, procurement teams and researchers tracking the quantum technology market, this trade fair is the clearest single snapshot available in Europe.
World of Quantum 2027 takes place June 22–25, 2027 in Munich, Germany.
World of Quantum 2027 is an in-person event.
Travel questions? See Good to know in the travel guide below.
Late June is Munich at its most agreeable: long daylight, beer gardens fully open, and the Alps a legitimate day trip rather than a distant view. Delegates attending four days of quantum technology exhibits at the Messe München grounds in Riem will spend their working hours on the eastern edge of the city, twenty minutes by U-Bahn from a compact historic centre that rewards evenings spent on foot rather than in taxis.
Munich Airport (MUC) lies northeast of the city and connects by S-Bahn lines S1 and S8 in roughly forty minutes to the central station and Marienplatz. For the trade fair itself, U-Bahn line U2 runs directly to Messestadt West and Messestadt Ost, the two stations serving the exhibition grounds. Munich's central station is also a major long-distance rail hub with direct services from Berlin, Vienna, Zurich and northern Italy.

Exhibition halls and public transport both offer patchy free wireless, and roaming charges outside the EU add up quickly across a four-day fair. A travel eSIM loaded before departure avoids both problems. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
Deutsches Museum. The world's largest science and technology museum, on an island in the Isar. Its physics, optics and computing halls are an unusually apt detour for anyone spending the week among quantum instrumentation. Half a day barely covers a fraction; pick two or three departments and accept the rest. Tickets on Tiqets →
Englischer Garten. A vast urban park stretching north from the centre, larger than New York's Central Park. In late June the Eisbach standing wave draws year-round surfers, and the Chinesischer Turm beer garden fills by early evening. Enter near Odeonsplatz and walk north for an hour.
BMW Welt and BMW Museum. Adjacent buildings at Olympiapark covering the company's engineering history and current output. The museum charges admission; BMW Welt itself is free to enter. Direct U3 access makes it an easy half-day, and it pairs naturally with the Olympic park grounds next door. Tickets on Tiqets →
Day trip to the Bavarian Alps. Regional trains reach Garmisch-Partenkirchen in about ninety minutes, putting alpine hiking and the Zugspitze cable car within reach of a single free day. Late June generally clears the higher trails of snow, though weather at altitude turns quickly — check forecasts the morning you travel.
How do I reach the exhibition grounds from the centre?
U-Bahn line U2 runs direct to Messestadt West and Messestadt Ost, the stations at either end of the Messe München site. Journey time from the central area is roughly twenty minutes.
What weather should I expect in late June?
Generally warm and bright, with daytime highs commonly in the mid-twenties Celsius, though afternoon thunderstorms are not unusual. Evenings can cool noticeably, so a light jacket is worth packing.
Do I need a car?
No. Munich's U-Bahn, S-Bahn and tram network covers the airport, the city centre and the exhibition grounds, and regional trains handle most day trips. A car is more hindrance than help in the centre.
