Midwest Quantum Week
Together, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana are a central driver of US leadership in quantum technologies — a sector that is projected to create as many as 191,000 jobs and as much as $80 billion in economic impact for the three-state region by 2035. Midwest Quantum Week, anchored by the Chicago Quantum Summit, is a great opportunity to learn from and celebrate with some of the people and companies who are powering this innovation ecosystem.
