Danish Quantum Community hosted the 2023 General Assembly this week
On Wednesday June 21st, Danish Quantum Community hosted our annual General Assembly for all DQC partners and members. The General Assembly took place at DTU thanks to DTU Physics and DTU Quantum who were our hosts for the day.
This General Assembly also marked one of the first times we gathered all DQC partners and members – and it was great to see the support from the Danish quantum ecosystem with more than 50 attendees at the GA from academia, industry, business organizations and more. The DQC Chairmanship thanks everyone for the support since DQC was founded in 2021.
