About Quantum Ireland

Quantum Ireland is a consortium of stakeholders from across the country that have joined to voice industry opinion and help develop the Irish quantum ecosystem. It was initially formed in response to the Quantum 2030 strategy, which noted the important role that enterprise must play in the development and growth of a local ecosystem.
