The Finnish Quantum Institute
Mission
Our goal at InstituteQ is to raise the readiness of Finnish society for the disruptive potential and implications quantum technologies will have for society and the economy at large.
By teaming up our expertise and resources, we aim to carry, implement and mutually benefit from front line research, education, innovations, and infrastructures, that form the competitive edge for our community in the quantum era.
