Terra Quantum has entered into a partnership with the South Korean supplier of cloud solutions MegazoneCloud. The agreement, which was signed in London, creates a framework for the development of joint, quantum-enhanced applications for both the private and public sector, according to a press release issued by Terra Quantum, a DeepTech firm based in the St.GallenBodenseeArea. The innovations will be focused on areas such as financial services and manufacturing, as well as weather forecasting and smart city projects.
With this strategic partnership, the spin-off from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and MegazoneCloud intend to combine their complementary strengths. In this context, cutting-edge quantum computer algorithms and applications are to be developed, with the aim of driving technological progress across Asia but with a focus on the South Korean market. In view of the latest investment on the part of South Korea in the quantum economy amounting to 2.3 billion US dollars, this cooperation underlines “the role European quantum technology can play in the Asian market”, the press release states.
