🗯 I am happy to announce that we're structuring our Quantum Circle #ecosystem, the #1 #quantum #community in #Belgium. With 40+ #member #organizations this is a logical next step to steer our drive for results. 🔎 Our teams are setting up 4 distinctive #workgroups to allow focus on #technology, #business #society and #ecosystem specific initiatives and priorities. ▶ #technology leads Carl Mensch and Michel Bagein are identifying and leverage quantum technology and translate these into practical applications. The team will interact with #academics, #reserachers and #technologyproviders. ▶ #business workgroup leaders Koen Van de Weyer and Jérémy Lambot outline strategies for end-user exploration, adoption and finally co-creation of quantum-based solutions. This group will mainly work together with #privatecompanies and #publicinistitutions. ▶ #society leads Elias Oumouadène and Erwin Van den Brande prepare our Belgian market for societal change and the impact quantum will have on work and life. Logically they'll work together with #education partners plus federal and local #governments. ▶ #ecosystem group leader Jan Sonck fosters collaboration with business and technology #federations, also Belgian and international #ecosystems. ✨ While a lot of activities will be driven within the 4 workgroup, big #purpose driven events will also happen on the #intersection, where ultimate #creativity will spark! 🙏 I thank all Quantum Circle members for their continuous commitment and contributions.

A Snapshot of Dreams Realized: Illumination at National Technology Week As I scrolled through the gallery on my phone, I stumbled upon a photograph that encapsulated a whirlwind of emotions and aspirations. In this single snapshot, taken during the vibrant National Technology Week 2023, you can see me with a smile that radiates from the depths of my being. This photograph isn't just about capturing a moment; it's about capturing the essence of dreams turned into reality through sheer determination and meticulous planning. The glow on my face is more than just a reflection of light; it symbolizes the countless hours, sleepless nights, and dedicated teamwork that went into making this event a resounding success. Every pixel in that image tells a story of orchestrating a symphony of innovation, where each detail and effort came together to create a masterpiece. Standing amidst the vibrant atmosphere of the event, I could feel the pulse of collective effort, the spark of innovation, and the shared purpose that brought everyone together. The glow on my face mirrors the enthusiasm of the participants, the passion of startup visionaries, and the curiosity of young minds eager to embark on their own journeys of discovery. For a young mind driven by ambition, like mine, this achievement goes beyond personal success. Coordinating an event graced by none other than the Prime Minister was a testament to the power of dreams and their realization. It stands as a beacon of possibility for all young dreamers who dare to envision a world shaped by their aspirations. This photograph reminds me that with dedication, perseverance, and a steadfast commitment to turning dreams into tangible actions, anything is possible. It's a reminder that each step taken in pursuit of a dream brings us closer to its realization. I invite you to take a moment and reflect on your own journey. What dreams are you working towards, and how can you turn them into reality? Let's continue to support each other, share our stories, and inspire the next generation of dreamers to believe that the sky is not the limit—it's just the beginning. #DreamsToReality #NationalTechnologyWeek #Inspiration #Ambition #journeytosuccess

Interesting for all of us that believe that we have to move forward with Quantum computing . Also Fujitsu believes in Quantum computing and is active in both simulators (Digital Annealer) as the real computers. https://lnkd.in/eGHjM3NR

Mark your calendars: Iterative Space Residency Applications open 2/1! 🗓 Our fourth annual Iterative Space Residency takes place this summer, from June 10 - July 12. The Residency serves as a design lab and space for inspired, curious, and passionate educators to build upon ideas and passions in proximity to others doing the same. We provide a beautifully stocked Space, access to resources, and a stipend of up to $4,500 for your time. All we ask of you is that you: 🥗 EAT: Pause each day to share a provided meal and engage with others. That may look like talking about your work, but it also might be talking about politics, or sports or family - it's up to you! Listen, learn, connect, share, and nourish. 💭 ITERATE: Move your work forward. This might mean cruising forward in a linear fashion, pivoting dramatically, scrapping an idea to collaborate with someone else, or taking a different path entirely. 🤝 SHARE: Openly share your insights, discoveries, project, or process with others so we all can learn from and be inspired by each other.
