Q-FINEX Quantum Readiness Index: A Shared Benchmark

2027 Special Programme

An annual benchmark run by GFTN with UWA QUISA, as part of the Q-FINEX platform. Institutions complete a short self-assessment, receive a confidential view of their readiness against peers, and the first findings are launched at Black Swan Summit 2027.

  • How ready is the financial sector for quantum, and where does my institution stand against its peers?

Five pillars

  • Cryptography

  • Computation

  • Ownership

  • Capability

  • Urgency

Why it matters

  • Transition plans are expected

    Australia's ASD recommends post-quantum transition plans by the end of 2026, and the G7 roadmap prioritises critical financial systems for 2030–32.

  • A common yardstick

    A confidential view of readiness against peers.

  • A neutral convener

    Run by not-for-profit GFTN with UWA QUISA, not a vendor.

  • Tracks the market

    Repeated each edition to show progress.
