Scynergy 2025

Welcome to SCynergy 2025 workshop!

advancing Supercomputing, AI, and quantum technologies in Europe

Supercomputing, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing are reshaping industries, research, and society at large. SCynergy 2025 brings together businesses, researchers, and policymakers to explore practical applications, share knowledge, and build collaborations that will shape the future of these technologies in Europe.

Organised by Supercomputing Luxembourg, with the support of EuroHPC JU and Women in HPC, SCynergy provides a platform for experts and decision-makers to discuss how high-performance computing (HPC), AI, and quantum technologies can be applied effectively across sectors such as finance, space, healthtech, and industry.
