BERKELEY — California leaders gathered at UC Berkeley on Nov 7 for the official launch of Quantum California, a new statewide initiative to align university researchers, industry leaders, investors, national labs, and government partners around a shared strategy for quantum innovation and job creation.

The event, co-hosted by the Governor’s Office and its Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) and the University of California Office of the President and UC Berkeley, marks the beginning of a coordinated, statewide push to align efforts to maintain California’s leadership in the technologies shaping the future — ensuring that the state’s innovation ecosystem continues to power progress for the nation and the world. The event follows the Governor’s recent signing of new legislation and funding to propel and maintain the state’s leadership in the quantum industry, research, and development.
