Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipator

The Open Quantum Institute (OQI), which was initiated by GESDA and began its three-year pilot phase last March hosted by CERN with the support of UBS, has been attracting increasing interest.

The OQI’s vision is to quickly create a market of quantum use cases that are capable of advancing the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals for 2030.

As proof of the increasing interest, nations’ representatives invited by GESDA arrived on June 17 to discuss the future multilateral governance of quantum computing for the SDGs, with Swiss State Secretary for Foreign Affairs Alexandre Fasel, a strong proponent of the OQI, as a distinguished guest.
