Global – 8th September 2021. The world’s first, and largest event bringing together major industry, research institutions, government agencies, and investors whose primary goal is to drive forward the commercialization of and deployment of Quantum AI and ML technologies.
The world’s first, and largest event bringing together major industry, research institutions, government agencies, and investors whose primary goal is to drive forward the commercialization of and deployment of Quantum AI and ML technologies.
Over the last few years, the explosion in computing power, coupled with geopolitical competition, has propelled Quantum research and technology into the mainstream. Although commercial applications are few and far between, they are now within reach, with examples across industry.
The purpose of Quantum AI and ML is to drive forward the commercialization of Quantum applications across industry, and to provide an international virtual meeting place for the Quantum community. Organisations are curious to understand the current status of the Quantum AI and ML landscape, explore potential applications, and benchmark against competitors.
Using a combination of in-depth case studies, live panels and Q+A and a comprehensive showcase of the entire eco system, Quantum AI and ML is the truly global meeting place for the Quantum community where you can network with Quantum professionals from across the world from industry, technology, research, academia and government.
