Building an international quantum ecosystem
Colorado’s quantum community draws on research institutions, innovative companies, public-sector leadership, investors, and entrepreneurs. France brings strengths in photonics, advanced technologies, scientific research, and quantum innovation. Connecting these ecosystems can support bilateral investment, research, and commercial collaboration.
