Join the Quantum trade mission to US on 12-13 September 2024, led by Business Finland's Quantum Computing Campaign, for a valuable opportunity to explore the research market and identify potential partners around Washington D.C. and New York.

We will meet key stakeholders including research institutes, universities, and private enterprises to identify collaboration partnerships and business opportunities and showcase Finnish offerings to potential partners and customers.

Quantum Business Opportunity in US

USA is currently leading quantum technology revolution with significant contributions to research, investments, and private sector development and it continues to harness quantum computing’s potential in various sectors.

Investments to quantum tech start-ups in 2022 summed up to $2,35 billion. The National Quantum Initiative Act of 2018 has strengthened Quantum Information Science R&D. The Quantum Computing innovation and trade mission to US is a great chance to explore the research market, build local networks and create further cooperation with the United States.
