NQO is delighted to welcome the US State of New Mexico delegation to Singapore! Led by the US State of New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, the delegation visited NQO, led by Executive Director Mr Keok Tong Ling, to learn more about Singapore's National Quantum Strategy, discuss about the quantum landscape in both countries and look into possible collaborations with Singapore this morning. New Mexico is a hub for quantum science and technology development, driven by a combination of federal and state initiatives, academic excellence, and industry partnerships. It is also home to leading institutions like Sandia National Laboratories and Los Alamos National Laboratory, which have been at the forefront of quantum research. #QuantumTechnologies #QuantumCollaborations Ministry of Digital Development and Information National Research Foundation Singapore Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) Enterprise Singapore A*STAR - Agency for Science, Technology and Research

We are thrilled to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and the National Quantum Office (NQO).    This collaboration aims to explore and promote research and development in the field of quantum technologies and its ecosystems. The MoU was signed by Mr Antoine Petit, President of CNRS and Mr Keok Tong Ling, Executive Director, National Quantum Office.   "The signing of this MoU with CNRS is a pivotal step towards the next bound in quantum technologies development. By focusing on Quantum Energetics and Quantum Photonics, we are set to transform our understanding of the interplay between energy, noise and performance to develop energy-efficient quantum technologies, while also advancing the development of next-generation quantum communication and networking technologies. This collaboration is about achieving groundbreaking innovations that will pave the way for sustainable and transformative quantum solutions. We are thrilled about the journey ahead with CNRS and the remarkable discoveries that await us," said Mr Ling Keok Tong, Executive Director, National Quantum Office.   Mr Ling also presented Singapore's National Quantum Strategy at the Joint Committee on Science and Innovation (JCSI) as well as moderated the Quantum Roundtable held in Paris on 7 April 2025.   #QuantumTechnologies #QuantumCollaborations   Ministry of Digital Development and Information National Research Foundation Singapore Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) Enterprise Singapore A*STAR - Agency for Science, Technology and Research

NQO is in Paris this week for the 4th France-Singapore Joint Committee on Science and Innovation (JCSI).   Our Executive Director, Mr Keok Tong Ling, was at the JCSI today, where he provided updates on the France-Singapore cooperation in Quantum, together with Sébastien Tanzilli, Research Director Technologies from CNRS - Centre national de la recherche scientifique.   The NQO delegation will be in France this week to continue strengthening France-Singapore collaborations in Quantum through meetings with French academics and quantum companies. #QuantumTechnologies #QuantumCollaborations #InternationalYearofQuantum Ministry of Digital Development and Information National Research Foundation Singapore Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) Enterprise Singapore A*STAR - Agency for Science, Technology and Research

We are still buzzing from the incredible Quantum Industry Day 2025 on 14 March! Let's take a look back at some of the highlights. Sharing about the importance of having a Quantum Industry Day in Singapore are Mr Keok Tong Ling, Executive Director of NQO, and our Guest-of-Honour, Mr David Koh, Chief Executive, Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA). We also had the opportunity to host our Swedish delegation, led by Jon Wingborg, Outreach Manager, QSIP – Quantum Sweden Innovation Platform. Finally, we would like to again thank our partners: Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA), National Quantum Computing Hub (NQCH), National Quantum-Safe Network, Accenture, Amazon Web Services (AWS), IMDA, Nanyang Technological University Singapore, OCBC, pQCee, Quantinuum, RAQS Consulting, SoftServe Business Systems, and SpeQtral for making this event a success! We look forward to seeing everyone at the next edition of Singapore's Quantum Industry Day! #QuantumIndustryDay #QuantumSafe #QuantumComputing #InternationalYearofQuantum Ministry of Digital Development and Information National Research Foundation Singapore Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) Enterprise Singapore A*STAR - Agency for Science, Technology and Research

Selamat Hari Raya! May your day be filled with joy, love, and blessings!

📣Don’t miss out on today's talks at the American Physical Society Global Physics Summit 2025! The Singapore Startup Stage runs from 3–5PM, featuring RAQS Consulting, Entropica Labs and AQSolotl, some of the brightest startups shaping the quantum industry. It is your last chance to catch them before the conference wraps up so stop by Booth 737 to chat with them and learn more and grab some goodies! We had a fantastic day two at the Quantum in Singapore booth yesterday with plenty of great conversations and new connections made! The Singapore Startup Stage showcased some of the most exciting quantum startups from Singapore, demonstrating their work and how they are shaping the industry. It was wonderful engaging with industry collaborators on their advancements as we explored opportunities for collaboration to drive innovation forward.
