Calgary AB, Canada – May 21, 2026 – SuperQ Quantum Computing Inc. (“SuperQ Quantum”, “SuperQ”, or the “Company”) (CSE: QBTQ; OTCQB: QBTQF; Frankfurt: 25X), a global leader in hybrid quantum-classical orchestration and advanced optimization platforms, is pleased to announce its official participation in Toronto Tech Week 2026. The Company will host an exclusive, community-led session designed to socialize the practicality and impact of SuperQ’s hybrid quantum optimization for institutional finance, asset management, and enterprise risk infrastructure.

This announcement follows a period of commercial acceleration for SuperQ, highlighted by its recent landmark commercial agreement with AI Financial Corporation NASDAQ:AIFC.  Under that engagement, SuperQ is deploying its SuperPQC™ framework to  safeguard an environment that has processed over USD $8 billion in  cumulative transaction volume, signaling a massive shift from experimental lab-scale validation to live, institutional enterprise  deployment.

Call to Action for the Finance Sector

The Company invites ​finance CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, and innovation leaders to join SuperQ for a panel on portfolio optimization and post-quantum cybersecurity (PQC), followed by networking cocktails and snacks. 

The details are as follows:

Providing Quantum Utility and Security for Global Finance

Taking  place during Toronto Tech Week (May 25-29, 2026)-a citywide celebration  bringing together thousands of top builders, investors, and tech  operators-SuperQ's curated event will focus on the tangible, present-day  applications of advanced computation. While the broader deep tech  sector often operates on speculative multi-year roadmaps, SuperQ is  actively operationalizing its software and orchestration layer to  deliver immediate, measurable ROI. Attendees of the exclusive session  will gain direct insights into:

• The Super™ Platform: SuperQ's flagship hybrid computing environment that autonomously  addresses business optimization challenges based on natural language  inputs. It excels at implementing complex optimization, portfolio  allocation, and predictive modeling tasks across quantum backends and  high-performance supercomputing clusters.

• SuperPQC™ Security Suite: A technical and strategic overview of how SuperQ integrates  post-quantum cryptography to mitigate the escalating "Harvest Now,  Decrypt Later" (HNDL) threat currently faced by institutional  transaction tunnels, asset registries, and multi-billion-dollar  corporate treasuries.

Focussed on Execution

"Toronto  Tech Week is the ultimate forum to demonstrate that the 'Quantum  Utility' era is happening right now on the ledger, not just in the lab,"  said Will Kruger, Business Lead of SuperQ.  "Following our commercial validation with AI Financial to protect  multi-billion dollar capital flows, we are arriving in Canada's  financial capital to show Bay Street executives and institutional asset managers how hybrid classical-quantum orchestration directly solves  nonlinear constraints and future-proofs critical transaction  environments against impending cryptographic vulnerabilities."

Bob Dameron - who has enjoyed a long career in financial services, public markets,  investment management and advanced computing business development, and  is a Senior Strategic Advisor at SuperQ - added: "The migration toward  post-quantum security frameworks is the most significant digital pivot  facing modern enterprises. Our presence at Toronto Tech Week is  dedicated to giving corporate risk officers, banking operators, and digital advisory firms the automated remediation tools they need to  achieve compliance and enforce long-term data safety."
