Quantum Sensing for Earth Observation: From Research to Deployment

​This session showcases ongoing work in quantum sensing for Earth observation across research, industry, and government. Through a series of short presentations, organizations working on technologies, missions, and enabling infrastructure will share what they are building, testing, and deploying.

​The focus is on practical progress toward real-world deployment, including demonstrations, integration with Earth observation systems, validation in operational environments, and lessons learned from early trials.

​The event complements the OxTechWeek discussion on the role of quantum technologies in space by highlighting the ecosystem actively advancing these capabilities today, and by creating opportunities for collaboration across the deep-tech landscape.

​This session is designed for:

• ​Earth observation end users and mission operators

• ​Aerospace and space system integrators

• ​Quantum sensing researchers and technology developers

• ​Deep-tech founders and engineers

• ​Hardware-focused investors and venture builders

• ​Public sector and agency representatives involved in space and sensing technologies

​This event is organized by the QUEST Technical Committee of GRSS (https://www.grss-ieee.org/technical-committees/quantum-earth-science-and-technology-quest/) within the Ox Tech Week.
