Through this partnership, Invest Qatar will support Quantinuum\u2019s expansion into the country to apply quantum technologies for the benefit of key sectors in Qatar, while enhancing local research and development (R&amp;D) capabilities, to create high-skilled jobs and train the next generation quantum workforce in Qatar.<\/p>\n<p>This includes facilitating connections with key stakeholders, enabling collaboration in R&amp;D and aligning with national initiatives aimed at advancing quantum technologies.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the agreement, Quantinuum will play a central role in advancing Qatar\u2019s quantum capabilities by launching a range of targeted initiatives, including knowledge-sharing platforms, educational seminars and technical workshops delivered by Quantinuum\u2019s global experts.<\/p>\n<p>The partnership also envisions launching joint research projects with Qatari academic and research institutions, exploring opportunities for local integration of quantum technologies and facilitating access to Quantinuum\u2019s cutting-edge quantum computing infrastructure. Additionally, internship opportunities will be offered to students from Qatar-based universities, providing direct experience in real-world quantum computing applications.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the partnership, Sheikh Ali Alwaleed al-Thani, CEO, Invest Qatar, said: \u201cThis partnership with Quantinuum reflects our continued commitment to positioning Qatar at the forefront of next-generation technologies. By combining global expertise with local ambition, we aim to cultivate a thriving quantum ecosystem that drives innovation, supports economic diversification and empowers future talent. We are pleased to work with Quantinuum to unlock the transformative potential of quantum computing for Qatar and the wider region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Rajeeb Hazra, President &amp; CEO, Quantinuum, said: \u201cLaunching our presence in Qatar opens an exciting new chapter in a region ready to lead in quantum computing. Building on our recently announced expansion into the country through our joint venture with Al Rabban Capital, and our ongoing partnership with Hamad Bin Khalifa University, this collaboration with Invest Qatar reinforces our commitment to the growth of Qatar\u2019s quantum computing ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs part of the deepening strategic ties between the US and Qatar, we are enabling direct access to our world-leading quantum hardware and software, creating value for academia and industry in Qatar while training the next generation of quantum developers and researchers to strengthen the region\u2019s position as a global hub for advanced technologies.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>Related Story<\/p>\n<p>           <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gulf-times.com\/article\/704887\/qatar\/qrcs-gihr-sign-co-operation-pact\" title=\"QRCS, GIHR sign co-operation pact\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy figure-img img-fluid rounded\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn4.premiumread.com\/?url=https:\/\/gulf-times.com\/gulftimes\/uploads\/images\/2025\/05\/19\/318390.jpg&amp;w=400&amp;q=100&amp;f=webp\" alt=\"Gulf Times\" title=\"\" onerror=\"this.src=\"\/><\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>           <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gulf-times.com\/article\/704876\/business\/qse-crosses-10700-mark-as-gulf-funds-up-buying-support-m-cap-adds-qr523bn\" title=\"QSE crosses 10,700 mark as Gulf funds up buying support; M-cap adds QR5.23bn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy figure-img img-fluid rounded\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn4.premiumread.com\/?url=https:\/\/gulf-times.com\/gulftimes\/uploads\/images\/2025\/05\/19\/318320.jpg&amp;w=400&amp;q=100&amp;f=webp\" alt=\"Gulf Times\" title=\"\" onerror=\"this.src=\"\/><\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Invest Qatar, the Investment Promotion Agency of Qatar, has inked a strategic agreement with Quantinuum, the world leader&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":117743,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3164],"tags":[3284,52773,15320,53,16,15],"class_list":["post-117742","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-computing","tag-computing","tag-invest-qatar","tag-quantinuum","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114541607267586159","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117742","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117742"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117742\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/117743"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117742"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117742"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117742"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
