Humanitek 2026: Mastering Acceleration: Human Power and Technology Trust

On April 1, 2026, at the Port of Quebec Cruise Terminal, Humanitek will bring together 300 public decision-makers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and innovators around the theme “Mastering Acceleration: Human Power and Technology Trust.”

Humanitek 2026 comes at a pivotal moment: the speed of technological progress is accelerating, the boundaries between science, economics, and society are blurring, and trust in technology is becoming a collective issue.

Quebec, recognized for its cutting-edge research in AI, photonics, and quantum technology, now has all the levers it needs to become a global model of ethical and human technological mastery.

The event will therefore offer a rare convergence, like a laboratory, between public decision-makers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and influencers, gathered for a day at the Port of Quebec Cruise Terminal, a symbol of openness, fluidity, and influence.

Humanitek 2026 invites us to go beyond technological fascination to explore the governance of progress: how to understand, channel, and transform speed into power for action.

Designed as an open-air laboratory, the event will feature inspiring conferences, workshops tailored to participant profiles, and an experiential space.

The goal: to make Quebec a global model of controlled, ethical, and sustainable innovation by connecting science, technology, economics, and society.

The event is built around three main themes:

1. Sovereignty and critical infrastructure

Data, cloud, cybersecurity, quantum, energy: how does Quebec maintain control of its digital foundations

1. Human power and collective intelligence

How can we preserve the place of humans in an automated world and promote intuition, creativity, and ethics?

1. Technological trust and security

How can we build innovation that inspires trust within institutions, businesses, and the general public?
