Welcome to Quantum Computing Research Day event in Helsinki in November!
Join us to listen the results of Quantum co-research projects from the 1st call and the presentations of new projects. You'll hear what the research projects of Business Finland’s Quantum Computing campaign have achieved so far, what problems quantum computers could solve in the near future and what new projects researchers will carry out next. Could any of them solve your problem? Companies can participate to these projects by providing data for researchers to solve and by guiding, monitoring and learning.
There is also time in the program to discuss about the projects. Networking plays a big role for the event and it will not be recorded but materials will be available after the event.
