Quantum Week opening and UpQuantVal launch
The first day of the Quantum Week on the 3 March 2025 will feature an opening session and the launch of the Interreg Upper Rhin Valley project UpQuantVal.
UpQuantVal will connect quantum science and technology players across the French, German and Swiss borders to develop new frameworks for collaboration in research, education and innovation. The strong expertise already present in the region in the fields of quantum computing, quantum sensing and enabling technologies will provide the basis for developing joint strategies across the entire value chain. Training activities will be at the heart of this initiative, which aims to develop the next generation of “quantum-ready” workers and increase the attractiveness for international talent. By pooling resources across borders and sectors, UpQuantVal will create new opportunities for collaboration within the cross-border regional ecosystem of the Upper Rhine Valley, making it one of the leading quantum hubs in the heart of Europe.
