Danish Quantum Community hosted our annual General Assembly on June 20th, 2024, for all DQC partners and members.
Looking back at the past year, it is truly remarkable to see how the quantum agenda has taken center stage in Denmark and how the ecosystem has grown. As mentioned in the Chairmanship’s report, DQC has grown with 10 new partners in 2023 and expanded our activities with a special focus on quantum awareness and applications.
Thank you to all the partners who joined us at the General Assembly and to every DQC partner for the support you have shown us and continue to show us.
