Global Industry Challenge
In 2025, Connected DMV will host a Global Industry Challenge as the centerpiece of our International Year of Quantum celebrations.
The challenge is a platform for innovators, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders to engage in collaborative action to solve practical use cases using quantum and quantum adjacencies such as AI. Join us and be part of a journey to create impactful solutions. This Challenge integrates industry leaders, investment partners, and quantum ecosystems around the world to help scale discovery and enable new solutions that accelerate the commercialization of quantum computing. Working within the International Year of Quantum framework, the Challenge will help amplify quantum awareness and increase talent pipelines over the course of the program.
Participants will have the unique opportunity to access quantum computers and simulators from leading quantum companies. Hosted virtually and open to participants worldwide, the event will exclude only those from countries under active export control restrictions, ensuring broad and diverse collaboration. Participating teams will receive a prioritized set of industry-defined use cases and then collaborate and compete to develop corresponding solutions.
