The Sydney Quantum Academy is launching the Quantum Innovators Network, a new free event series and community designed to empower and inspire entrepreneurially minded quantum innovators and enthusiasts.

The first event in the series features Andrew Horsley from Quantum Brilliance — Australia’s first diamond computing start-up and Sam Kearney from Creative Destruction Lab — an international accelerator that specialises in quantum technologies.

ABOUT THE EVENT SERIES

At the Quantum Innovators Network, you’ll learn more about the global quantum start-up ecosystem, and become part of an emerging entrepreneurial and investment community in Sydney. You’ll hear from international experts, fast-growing deep tech start-ups and university spin-offs who are paving the way for a quantum future. Discover the key players and learn about the support services available. Meet emerging and established quantum enthusiasts looking to support and learn from each other.
