«Both countries’ governments (for example, the
USA, China, UK, Russia, Singapore, Australia, India and Japan) and private
companies (for example, Google, IBM, Microsoft, Alibaba, Amazon) invest in
quantum technologies. In addition, research groups at leading universities form
various spin-offs and startups that attract significant investments,» explains Ruslan Yunusov. «for example, ID Quantique, whose deal with
Korean telecommunications company SK Telecom is valued at $130 million, has
grown from a research group at the University of Geneva. There are plenty of cases
like this, and they are happening all over the world. This is a global
competition that takes place at all levels.»
The
programme is being supported by MKR Media and the Friends for Leadership
business initiative in partnership with PGBgroup2.0 and online
science magazine N+1.
