We are excited to announce a strategic partnership with Quantum Key Stakeholder Assembly on Nov 9 in Barcelona in support of the proposal to the UN to proclaim 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science & Technologies.
The Quantum Assembly will be the avenue where global leaders in the quantum industry will present recommendations and their voices in support of the proposed IYQ2025 resolution to the United Nations.
The assembly will conclude with a ceremonial signing of an Open Letter to the UN signed by over 300 quantum leaders worldwide.
In partnership with the executive committee of IYQ2025, the “Quantum Key Stakeholder Assembly” will convene global decision-makers and leaders in the quantum industry to:
