Hi Everyone,
After talking about Why Quantum In Africa Deserves Attention in the last newsletter, what should we do in Africa?
In Africa we should:
Gather and harness expertise from the continent to shape a broad vision and play a guiding role in accelerating the development of quantum science and technology in our continent.
Scan the ecosystem and look at our local circumstances to deeply understand the importance and necessity of accelerating the development of quantum science and technology
Seize major strategic opportunities like our youthful population, abundant natural resources, diaspora community, and influential leaders on the global stage to:
-accurately grasp the development trend, key tasks, and implementation path required to increase investments in basic theoretical research and scientific and technological applications,
-continuously improve independent innovation ability,
-improve the scientific research platform system,
-strengthen the support of talents,
-strengthen the foundation of quantum science and technology development, and,
-promote the deep integration of quantum science and technology with economic and social development.
Build quantum science and technology development highland, in order to speed up the conversion of new and old kinetic energy, and promote high-quality development through the exploration of synergies between quantum tech and other important technologies like HPC, AI, IoT, and 5G.
OneQuantum Africa is a community effort. I am happy to hear from everyone about how best to move quantum forward in our beautiful continent. We are always looking for volunteers and partners to help us expand and improve our efforts.
Please reach out to me with your goals at africa@onequantum.org.
Please share this with your colleagues and let’s move quantum forward in Africa and join the global ecosystem NOW!

The first INSTA QT Workshop will be held in Thailand and on Zoom on 22-23 September. To register and subsequently receive Zoom dial details please visit the following link.
OneQuantum will be speaking at and attending the Quantum World Congress in Washington DC.
The Quantum World Congress is a net-new, large-scale, cross-sector, multi-domain event, convening and connecting the world's quantum ecosystem in Washington, DC. We invite you to join us at QWC, to spotlight the transformational impact that quantum science and technology will have across the https://www.qubitbyqubit.org/course-infoindustry, government, and society.
Comprising a forward-thinking educational agenda, as well as an exposition of products and services, QWC will connect stakeholders, decision-makers, and future developers of quantum technology from both the public and private sectors.
