“Currently in cyber security, it takes about 30 million years to crack a very strong password. In theory, in a few years, when the quantum computers get strong enough, they'll be able to break them in just 12 days.” - James Sanders, @QAIventures

It was an honor to participate in groundbreaking conversations on #QuantumComputing during @Davos Week 2025 at the @unDavosSummit.

Dynex (@DynexQaaS) Co-founder and Dynex Moonshots Mission Leader Daniela Herrmann joined industry leaders in exploring how businesses can become quantum-ready, build a competitive edge and apply quantum's real-world applications on two panels:

Panel 1: Quantum Ready - Technology and Education
Daniela shared the latest updates regarding our Neuromorphic Quantum Computing curriculum in collaboration with Sona College of Technology (@sonacollege). As of January 20, Sona’s top 23 students have started this pioneering program, with the course book now available online. Looking ahead, we aim to expand access to these educational resources to over 6M people by the end of 2025: https://t.co/S6J9POK8ta

This initiative aligns with broader efforts in quantum education, including @MIT Professor William D. Oliver (@oliver_mit)’s announcement of a new executive program focused on quantum readiness.

Panel 2: Quantum Ready - The Business Opportunity
This panel explored the emerging business potential within the current quantum landscape and the post-quantum era, highlighting transformative applications such as advancements in the pharmaceutical sector with Qubit Pharmaceuticals (@qubit_pharma).

Thank you to Mark Turrell (@mark_turrell) and the unDavos team for curating timely conversations. Great speaking alongside @MIT Professor William D. Oliver (@oliver_mit), HorizonX Consulting (@horizonx_c) CEO Steve Suarez (@stevesuarez), QAI Ventures AG (@qaiventures) CEO Alexandra Beckstein (@AQAI3013), Qubit Pharmaceuticals (@qubit_pharma) CEO Robert Marino and Quranium (@quranium_org) Co-founder and CEO Kapil Dhiman (@iamkapildhiman).

Throwback to an incredible #GenQHackathon👏

Two weeks ago, bright minds from Calgary, Toronto, Vancouver, Texas, Boston and Basel worked relentlessly to transform innovative ideas into real-world #quantum use cases during the GenQ Quantum Computing #Hackathon.

[QAI Ventures @QAIventures]

Thank you for an unforgettable #GenQHackathon!

The doors to @PlatformCalgary, our hub of #quantum prototyping and #innovation over the past weekend, are now closed. But the impact of what we have achieved together at the GenQ Quantum Computing #Hackathon is just beginning.🚀

[QAI Ventures @QAIventures]

#GenQHackathon - which are the winning ideas? 🏆

The hacking at the GenQ Quantum Computing Hackathon has come to an end. All teams have submitted their #quantum use cases, and the sandbox is now closed.

The #hackathon culminates in the final pitch competition later today.

[QAI Ventures @QAIventures]

🇨🇭🇨🇦A heartfelt thank you to the Embassy of Switzerland in Canada for supporting our mission of furthering social change with #quantumtech!
