IBM will offer expertise, which Maharashtra may use to help craft its own quantum initiative, and also contribute to the development of the state’s quantum ecosystem through workshops and other skills development efforts.<\/p>\n
“Through our collaboration with IBM, we will harness quantum innovation to transform lives, while building a skilled talent pool to democratise its benefits and make them accessible to every citizen of the state,” Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis said. <\/p>\n
The company’s general manager for Asia Pacific Hans Dekkers said the effort should be seen as a commitment to help Maharashtra build its own vibrant quantum ecosystem. <\/p>\n
