OneQuantum Africa - making quantum tech a reality in the continent today
Probably our last meeting of the year in this form | Don't miss it! https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMoceyhrDMiHtCansNZCiGz5W7Ppwhbt1u5
Hi everyone!
After a nice round of talks, OneQuantum Africa Meetings will take a break and resume next year with a new format.
We want to thank our platform sponsors, Bayete Quantum Tech, and our expert speakers for their useful insights and direction on quantum tech development, not forgetting the hosts and the audience for the time and effort.
Next year promises to be interesting as it may be possible to host physical events, allowing the community a chance to meet face to face and deepen local efforts to reach everyone interested and active in quantum in our beautiful continent.
Your feedback is very important to us, so please take a moment to help us improve and expand this great effort.
If you are interested to understand more about our community and quantum in Africa, please feel free to book a slot in my calendar here, always happy to chat.
Many thanks to those who reach out to me now and then with feedback and ideas. I look forward to speaking with more of you and learning about your quantum goals.
Viva Africa! Please be in touch.
#quantumiscoming!
Farai, Brooke, and the OneQuantum Africa Team

OneQuantum Africa Meeting | November 3 @1900hrs CAT
This week on November 3, the meeting room opens at 1845hrs, and our speaker is Karan Pinto. He will talk about creating value through quantum. We heard from great speakers about the quantum opportunity and why Africa needs to pay attention throughout the year. As we wrap up, there is no better way to do it than by discussing how to create value to get equipped to explore promising applications in a meaningful way.
Join us to enjoy this talk that examines the future of the quantum tech industry and reflect on the exciting and eventful journey of this promising technology thus far as it overcomes major challenges, from funding, hardware performance, and regulation to societal awareness.
We encourage you to join us early at 1845hrs CAT to have a chat, group network, and enjoy a little African camaraderie!
