EIN Quantum NRW is a broad network of universities, non-university research institutions, and companies that are actively involved in the field of quantum technologies. The competence network is supported by the state government of North Rhine-Westphalia. Through close cooperation, the developing EIN Quantum NRW ecosystem pursues both scientific and economic interests and promotes them jointly in North Rhine-Westphalia under one roof.
This year’s annual kick-off event for the network will take place at the Westfalenstadion. It is an in-person event that is not available online.
We would like to thank our host, Fsas Technologies GmbH (a Fujitsu company), for this.
At the end of the exciting kick-off, there will also be a stadium tour.
