Join us for Session #2 of our ”Quantum in Finance” series, co-hosted with IBM, EY and the House of Digital Transformation (HoDT).

In focus for this 2-hours virtual event will be High Performance Computers, or HPCs, along with a practical look at a use case in the insurance sector.

Why Quantum?  Because the technology is not just a promise anymore, but a reality. It allows for exponential enhancement of computational power that help achieve real results. New use cases emerge regularly, and more investments are being lined up which will further push the technology forward.​ From 16 equity deals totaling 67M$ in 2016, CB Insights reports 63 deals representing close to 1B$ in 2021.
