Africa Quantum Consortium - A Call to Lead
Africa’s Quantum Future Needs You—Shape the Message Now. Take Action.
1 Big Thing This Week!
Africa’s moment is now! In this International Year of Quantum, the world is listening—Africa must speak boldly, united, and with clear purpose. No more whispers at the table; we lead with conviction and vision.
The Africa Quantum Consortium (AQC) is Africa’s collective voice in the quantum revolution. We amplify African talent, showcase African breakthroughs, and connect quantum leaders across the continent — while linking Africa to the global quantum ecosystem for collaboration and impact.
Africa is no longer watching from the sidelines. We’re shaping the narrative, setting the pace, and solving global quantum challenges with African ingenuity.
We're defining Africa’s position at the IYQ Global Forum on Quantum Education & Workforce (Ghana, Aug 5–7). https://arc-eds.com/quantum-africa/
Add your input now—help shape the future of research, education, and quantum careers across the continent:

🚨 The Quantum Roundtable – Unite & Lead! June 2025
Africa’s quantum movement is gaining momentum—but leadership must be aligned, connected, and mobilized. That’s what this Roundtable is for.
After the success of our March 15th session, we’re back—bigger, bolder, and laser-focused on action. No fluff. No silos. Just real strategy, collaboration, and impact.
This is a call to all quantum leaders, ecosystem builders, and decision-makers across Africa:
✅ Forge partnerships
✅ Shape national + continental strategies
✅ Launch initiatives with clear next steps and accountable champions
We don’t talk—we build.
If you’re serious about helping lead Africa’s quantum future, be in the room. Sign up, show up, and bring others with you.
