Calgary Alberta and Ottawa, Ontario (Newsfile Corp. - May 26, 2026) - SuperQ Quantum Computing Inc. (CSE : QBTQ) (OTCQB: QBTQF) (FSE: 25X) ("SuperQ Quantum", "SuperQ", or the "Company"),  a global leader in hybrid quantum computing and post-quantum  cybersecurity, is pleased to announce that it has been accepted into the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI) as a corporate member and is actively participating in CANSEC 2026 in Ottawa from May 27-28, 2026.

Following  SuperQ's participation in DEFSEC West and the Western Innovation Forum, the Company is advancing a defence-facing engagement track focused on  sovereign deployment pathways, quantum-enabled optimization, and cyber  resilience for mission-critical defence environments. CADSI is the  national industry voice for Canadian defence and security companies, and  CANSEC has served as the sector's flagship annual event in Ottawa since  1998.

Dual-Use Quantum and Cybersecurity Technology

SuperQ's dual-use stack combines secure, on-premises quantum orchestration via Super™ with post-quantum protection through SuperPQC™ to support operational planning, logistics optimization, and  cryptographic modernization as well as military planning, drone defence and secure communication. The Company is positioning this architecture  for environments where data sovereignty, continuity of operations,  decision speed, and standards-aligned cyber safety are core procurement  requirements.

CADSI Membership and CANSEC Engagement

Through  its CADSI membership and CANSEC participation, SuperQ is engaging with  government officials, Canadian Armed Forces leadership, prime contractors, and industrial partners on near-term pathways to integrate  quantum and post-quantum capabilities into procurement and modernization  programs. The Company's strategic partner Arctech Accelerate will also  be present to catalyze the Company's CANSEC engagements.

SuperQ's Head of Special Projects, Eyren Uggenti, will lead the engagements, highlighting Company's sovereign hybrid  compute and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) pathways aligned with  Canada's Industrial and Technological Benefits (ITB) program, sovereign  quantum computing priorities, and autonomous defence. "Canada's  defence modernization agenda is creating a practical window for  sovereign quantum and cybersecurity deployment," said Eyren Uggenti. "By  joining CADSI and engaging directly at CANSEC, SuperQ is focused on  delivering implementation-ready pathways that help organizations move  from pilot discussions to measurable operational outcomes."
