University of Jyväskylä partners with SemiQon to push forward research on silicon-based quantum computing and expand Finland’s national research infrastructure for quantum.

As Finland and the UK are drawing up their quantum roadmaps, both look for ways to support the growing domain and build performance at scale. Himadri Majumdar writes about the shared and distinct challenges around policy, investment, and infrastructure after meeting partners and attending events in London.

The first year and a half of running SemiQon has been busy for the founding team, but CEO Himadri Majumdar seems resolute and – well – happy.

Technological sovereignty, digital resilience, and investment into next generation industry are undoubtedly high priorities for Europe in the coming years and decades. Geopolitical and geoeconomic competition, war in Europe, energy crisis and chip shortage have all emphasized on the one hand, the value, and on the other, the vulnerability, of our societies, industries, and critical infrastructure – and not the least their digital dimensions. Now is the time for European decision-makers to take leadership in the development of quantum technologies, and to rally around companies that are committed to building the solutions that Europe and the world will need tomorrow.
