Quantum News
This Wednesday we have Abdulmalek Baitulmal sharing about the startup ecosystem in Libya and his quantum journey. Malek studied at the University of Tripoli where he graduated with a BSc in Electrical, Electronics and Communications Engineering. Now he is defying odds and building a startup in quantum tech.
During his talk, Malek will give details about how to start from zero and lead a quantum tech startup. His talk is structured as follows:
-Why Quantum?
-Quantum Computing project in 2019
-Overcoming barriers
-Quantum Computing as a business
After his talk you will have an opportunity to ask questions before we have our one on one networking sessions.

I have collected a few articles (some of them oldish) about quantum technologies in Africa and I hope they provide a good indication of where we are as a continent and spark some interesting ideas for discussion in our future meetings.
This article gives a fair overview of quantum tech developments in Africa.
If quantum computing does prove to be a catalyst for the next computational revolution, what will happen to Africa asks one of our members Amira Abbas. Read more here.
We should take advantage of the opportunities that the cloud present to contribute and shape emerging technology. Details here.
Why Africa must be ready to take the quantum leap according to WEF.
Something every African entrepreneur should read before interacting with international investors.
The Women in Quantum chapter set a new record for attendees during the second edition of The Women in Quantum Summit last week! Thanks to IBM for sponsoring the event and to Honeywell Quantum Solutions for sponsoring the chapter!
