In February 2026, DOST-PCIEERD convened the National Quantum Science and Technology Roadmapping Conference, bringing together much of the Philippine physics community along with selected industry participants. According to a PhilStar report, the conference expanded the quantum policy conversation beyond laboratory researchers to include government, industry, and academic leaders.

A subsequent Quantum Readiness Workshop, organized by the Quantum Computing Society of the Philippines (QCSP) in partnership with IBM Asia Pacific, DOST, the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), and the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP), was announced for April 23-24, 2026. According to Back End News, the workshop would address quantum computing, workforce readiness, and quantum-safe security across multiple sectors including financial markets, digital infrastructure, and critical energy systems.

Bobby Corpus, president of the QCSP, serves as a key advisor to the DOST-PCIEERD Quantum Technology Board and the OECD Global Forum on Technology, reflecting growing institutional coordination around quantum policy in the Philippines.
