Quantum Ready 2026

Staying
competitive

The Future
of quantum
in Quebec.

The future competitiveness of the Quebec economy depends on its ability to significantly expand its quantum technology talent pool.

Quantum acceleration programs can prepare a whole generation of college students to help Canadian industry lead this transition.

A collaboration with Numana, a catalyst for Quebec’s emerging technology ecosystem, and AI Launch Lab, which has been operating AI acceleration cohorts since 2019, will boost quantum capabilities at the college level in Quebec tenfold, strengthen the country’s quantum talent assets and increase industry capacity and competitiveness.
