We can make quantum a massive force for good, ensuring this technology does not drive the creation of a new divide. Let’s build partnerships and encourage the development of practical, scalable quantum-based solutions.

Let us remember that it is not just a celebration of breakthroughs, it is a moment to shape the future. Let us seize this opportunity to create a legacy of cooperation, innovation, and inclusion, ensuring that the power of quantum science benefits all.

Now is the time to envision scenarios where quantum technologies are used for the greater good. We firmly believe that this conversation needs to start now, and the UN family has a key role to play in it.

With this series, we aim to shine a light on the rapidly evolving quantum industry and the remarkable, diverse stories of those driving it forward. We hope it inspires curiosity, sparks conversation, and motivates others to explore and join this exciting field—and community.
