In this talk I will put forward an account of quantum objectivity along Kantian and Bohrian lines. Quantum objectivity will be distinguished from classical objectivity both regarding the objective validity and the objective reality of the concept of an object. While classical concepts enable the constitution of empirical data as objective experimental results, the concept of a quantum object plays rather a regulative role, guaranteeing the systematic unity of classically described complementary phenomena.
