The APEC Quantum Science and Technology (QST) Forum was held on October 21–23, 2025, in Gwangju, as a satellite event of the 2025 APEC Summit and as part of the activities for the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. The forum provided a platform for discussions on disparities in regional quantum capabilities, research infrastructure, education and workforce development, and frameworks for science diplomacy. It highlighted quantum technologies as a potential general-purpose technology and emphasized the need for coordinated multilateral collaboration to support sustainable scientific and technological development in the Asia-Pacific region. This report presents an overview of the planning background, program structure, and key outcomes of the forum, with particular attention to implications for international collaboration and science and technology policy.
