Africa Quantum Consortium Memo
Africa Exports Excellence (And the world is noticing) 🌍
The IBM QDC25 recap, the UNESCO spotlight, and your ticket to the War Room on Dec 12.
They say talent is equally distributed, but opportunity is not.
At AQC, we are busy fixing the distribution of opportunity. The talent is already here.
On December 12, the AQC Quantum Circle takes the stage to close the year. But before we look forward to 2026, we need to acknowledge what just happened in Atlanta at #QDC25.
🏆 Excellence in Action: The Atlanta Recap
Just last month at the IBM Quantum Developer Conference (#QDC25) in Atlanta, the African delegation and diaspora shined.
We want to publicly congratulate the women who represented the continent with world-class technical prowess:
These leaders demonstrated what we have known all along: African technical talent is not “catching up.” It is ready to lead.
When we say “Local Roots, Global Reach,” this is what we mean. We are forging local strength that commands respect on the most competitive global stages.
🏛️ Validated by UNESCO
The caliber of leadership driving the AQC ecosystem is being recognized at the highest levels.
If you want to understand the philosophy driving our strategy, read the recent feature on the UNESCO Blog. It details how we are positioning African science as a driver of global innovation.

⭕ Your Invitation to the Circle
The leaders mentioned above and 14 others from the banks, labs, and boardrooms of Africa and globally will be gathering for one final time this year.
Forget webinars. No slides. No scripts.
This is a Strategy Session built to lock in the 2026 roadmap with hard insights and real decisions.
If you want to meet the women putting the continent on the map and hear directly from the architects of Africa’s Quantum future, you need to be in the room.
