BTQ Technologies Corp., a marketer player in quantum technology specializing in securing mission-critical networks, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with South Korea’s Future Quantum Convergence Forum (FQCF), Quantum Industrial Standard Association (QuINSA), and Future Quantum Convergence Institute (QCI).
The MOU sets the stage for joint efforts in key areas such as developing industrial standards, organizing events, and promoting industry-academic partnerships.
The MOU outlines a collaborative framework focused on advancing business growth, international expansion, and industrial synergy. The partnership will target key areas such as developing quantum industrial standards, organizing events and seminars, and establishing industry-academic cooperation programs. These initiatives are designed to accelerate the global adoption of quantum technologies and foster knowledge-sharing within the ecosystem.
A central aspect of the partnership is the joint effort to develop industrial standards for quantum technologies, which will be critical in expediting global integration. Additionally, the collaboration will host various online and offline events to promote networking, knowledge exchange, and partnership-building among industry leaders. The parties will also create industry-academic programs to bridge the gap between academic research and practical applications, driving new discoveries and business models in quantum technology.
BTQ Technologies’ Chief Operating Officer, Nicolas Roussy Newton, emphasized the significance of the partnership, stating, “This collaboration underscores BTQ’s commitment to advancing quantum innovation on a global scale.” He further noted that working alongside prominent organizations such as FQCF, QuINSA, and QCI will help BTQ accelerate the development of quantum solutions while strengthening its ties with the South Korean quantum ecosystem. Hyo-Sil Kim, Director of QCI, also expressed optimism, highlighting the potential for mutual growth in the quantum communication field, which is central to the partnership’s goals.
This collaboration is expected to help South Korea’s goal of quantum strategy, which seeks to lead the country in quantum technology by 2035. Key initiatives include the development of a 1,000-qubit quantum computer, the creation of a 100-km quantum communication network, and the training of thousands of quantum professionals. As part of these efforts, South Korea is also fostering international partnerships and driving private sector involvement to ensure sustainable growth in quantum technology. The partnership between BTQ and South Korea’s quantum organizations plays a vital role in supporting these national objectives.
