Infinity QD

Have you read GP Bullhound's new quantum technology report yet? It looks at where we from the perspective of investors considering getting involved. It's always interesting to see what people outside quantum make of its progress. And it's always worth reading GP Bullhound's reports on tech trends and developments. So it's worth taking note of what they make of where quantum is. "Now is the time to take it seriously," author Callum Stewart, PhD of the firm writes. Download it, and have a read of how GP Bullhound assesses the sector through the eyes of an investor. 👉 https://lnkd.in/dMnA9BRV 👈

What is Infinity? Here's how we explain it in the simplest terms: Infinity is building a global ecosystem to accelerate the creation and growth of quantum industry startups. And it's great to have you along for the journey with us!

How can the health and life sciences sectors embrace quantum technologies? Our Pavel Kalinin posed this question at Quantum Effects in Stuttgart recently, when he moderated a panel on how to accelerate commercial applications of quantum tech in the health and life science sectors. Here are some insights from the conversation: - The industry needs to collaborate with quantum technology providers to discover problems to fix - Industry end-users need to build expertise in-house by partnering with technology providers, who at the same time help make it easier by focusing on the interaction layer with actual solutions that the tech can provide, versus underlying technology - What is unique is the support that exists in the industry, as well as the tremendous excitement for the potential of quantum tech. NOW is the time to capitalise (both for startups as well as for end-users) on this support to bring about eventual real-world applications  - In terms of potential use cases: Sensing already has physical products that can improve imaging (e.g. measuring cells at quantum scale). Simulation use cases (complex molecular and materials simulations, predict atomic-level processes) will require more co-development and integration, and communications and security also have a role to play Thanks to the panelists for their input: Maud Einhorn, Technical Account Executive at Quantinuum Romana Schirhagl, founder and CSO, QT Sense Krisztian Benyo, Ph.D., Technical Business Development Manager, Pasqal Michael Marthaler, CEO & Co-Founder, at HQS Quantum Simulations

Yesterday was the final day for Quantum Delta NL as the official partner country at this year’s #QuantumEffects Messe Stuttgart! Our delegation took to various stages, showcasing a strong representation of the Dutch quantum ecosystem with a compelling presentation on quantum and health by Deepak H. Veeregowda, Ph.D., CEO of QT Sense to an expert panel on medical use cases with Romana Schirhagl (Founder and CSO, QT Sense), moderated by Pavel Kalinin (Infinity QD)👏. 🤩 QuiX Quantum, Qblox, and QuantWare took centre stage, highlighting recent developments and collaborations with Germany. We also announced exciting new joint initiatives with Quantum BW: 1. Connecting life & science ecosystems in Quantum Delta NL and Quantum BW 2. Enabling easy access for our startups to shared facilities, such as TNO’s new sensing testbed 3. Organizing startup matchmaking sessions to reduce barriers to cross-border collaboration Feel free to contact Qblox, QuantWare, QT Sense, TNO, QuantaMap, QuiX Quantum and Delft Circuits to follow up on any opportunities! 🚀 #QuantumEffects #QDNL #QuantumTechnology

If you're heading to Quantum Effects in Stuttgart on 9 October, look out for own Pavel Kalinin. He'll be moderating a panel on how to accelerate commercial applications of quantum tech in the health and life science sectors. The conversations will explore the adoption, commercial use-cases, challenges, and opportunities of quantum technologies in this critical sector. You'll hear from panelists: Maud Einhorn, Technical Account Executive at Quantinuum Romana Schirhagl, founder and CSO, QT Sense Krisztian Benyo, Ph.D., Technical Business Development Manager, Pasqal Michael Marthaler, CEO & Co-Founder, HQS Quantum Simulations It's going to be an excellent discussion, so don't miss it at the Green Stage (Halle 2 (C2), 2F17), at 1.20pm on 9 October.

Quantum hardware startups! An opportunity for you: The European Investment Bank (EIB) is inviting European startups to apply for its first Semiconductor Pitch Day in Munich on 13 November 2024. The event promises to bring together innovative European semiconductor startups with leading European venture capital funds and semiconductor Industry leaders. It is an opportunity to showcase your technology, connect with potential investors, and accelerate your growth in the semiconductor sector. 16 startups will present to a panel of VC funds for 10 minutes each, followed by 5 minutes of Q&A each. A networking session and VIP dinner will follow. Who Should Apply: They’re looking for EU-based startups developing innovative solutions in areas including, but not limited to: - Advanced chip design and architecture - Novel materials and fabrication processes - Power electronics and energy efficiency solutions - Quantum computing hardware - AI/ML chip optimization - IoT and edge computing solutions - Photonics and optical computing - Memory and storage innovations - Application Requirements To apply, provide a brief overview of your company in the form of: A pitch deck (max 15 slides) OR a business summary (max 3 pages) Include: - Company name and contact information - Description of their technology and its unique value proposition - Current traction (customers, partnerships, milestones) - Team overview (key members and their backgrounds) - Funding raised to date and current funding needs Apply by email to cfa_secretariat@eib.org, no later than 11th October 2024. You should include: - Company Name - Founder/CEO Name - Email Address - Phone Number - Company Website - Company Stage (Early / Growth) - Brief Company Description (100 words max) - Primary Technology Area - Total Number and Types of funding rounds closed so far - Total Funding Raised to Date - Pitch Deck (max 15 slides) OR Business Summary (max 3 pages) as a PDF attachment - How you heard about the event The EIB says applications will be reviewed by a panel of experts from the EIB and partner organisations.

As summer leaves us behind (and the weather follows), let's take a look back to our summer community gathering at Hoogtij Amsterdam on 11 June. Hosted by Irene Rompa, the day brought the Infinity community together with speakers including Jaap van den Broek, Anke Huiskes, and Julian van Velzen across a programme of guest talks and breakout discussions. Can you spot yourself in the photos? Look out for more Infinity events soon, and we'll look forward to seeing you there.

Congratulations to QuiX Quantum, which has been selected as one of five EU quantum technology startups and SMEs that will receive grants from the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA)'s EIC Accelerator. QuiX's proposal was for work towards the QuiX Quantum Universal Quantum Processor. “The Accelerator will allow us to push our objectives and vision of building Europe's leading quantum photonic products,” said Dr.-Ing. Stefan Hengesbach, CEO of QuiX Quantum.

🌐👏 The United Nations International Computing Centre (UNICC) and Quantum Delta NL have announced their partnership to jointly explore the transformative potential of quantum technologies for the United Nations system. The partnership was launched at the side event “Quantum for Good,” held during the Summit of the Future Action Days last week, co-sponsored by the Republic of Namibia, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Quantum Delta NL, the International Telecommunication Union, and the World Economic Forum, and hosted at Accenture.  UNICC and Quantum Delta NL signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate in: 🤝 (1) exploring the use of quantum technologies for the benefit of UNICC partners, 🤝 (2) organizing joint events for raising awareness on this frontier technology across the UN system, and 🤝 (3) working jointly to identify and implement prioritized projects.  As part of the collaboration, further expert events and activities will be held in the lead-up to the 2025 International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. 📍 First of these events will be a follow up conference co-hosted by UNICC and Quantum Delta NL on 20 and 21 November 2024 in The Hague, Netherlands, in close collaboration with global partners. 💡 Interested to know more?
