On Thursday July 23rd, the second annual Global Quantum Forum concluded with over 60 speakers, 29+ countries represented, and three incredible headliners bringing the energy to the fifth TechChicago Week by P33. Candace Parker, Investor, Entrepreneur, Hall of Famer & WNBA Champion, appeared in WGN-TV news to discuss her panel at the Global Quantum Forum, “From Courtside to Quantum: Building High-Performance Teams for the Future.” During Parker’s last WNBA All-Star Game appearance in Chicago, she played for the Chicago Sky WNBA, which makes it only fitting the Naperville native returned for the All-Star Weekend during TechChicago Week. “Visibility is a real thing,” commented Parker. From the court to the recent ventures in tech investments, seeing representation on the screen creates a powerful impact for the next generation. This sentiment was explored in the panel featuring Nadya Mason, Vice President for Research, University of Chicago moderated by Brenda Darden Wilkerson, CEO of AnitaB.org, and P33 Chicago Board Member. As we reflect on the largest TechChicago Week to date, Global Quantum Forum became a place where culture meets corporate leadership and quantum meets application.

Just sat down with Josue Romero of Silicon Oasis Spotlight for a wide-ranging conversation, 50 years of building companies, and where that experience finally led. We talked about the measurement infrastructure layer VITAEUM™ is building for spatial physiology, the regulatory SaMD pathway we're on with the FDA, what it's actually like building deep-tech and medtech in Arizona, and why I'm scaling this company for the next 20 years, not exiting it. Full episode links in the first comment below. VITAEUM is currently raising a $1M SAFE at a $15M cap. If you're an accredited investor and this resonates, reach out.

Maybell Quantum is coming to New Mexico. A core member of our growing quantum coalition, Corban Tillemann-Dick and the Maybell team announced this week the details of what they are bringing to the Roadrunner Quantum Lab powered by the State of New Mexico. This fall, four dilution refrigerators and a full-time, in-state team will create a transformational cryogenics platform for companies in the state. “We consistently heard from companies that access to infrastructure and testing sites was the main constraint in commercializing their technologies,” said our partner Nora Meyers Sackett, Director of the Technology and Innovation Office at New Mexico Economic Development Department. “We are solving this problem by making New Mexico a facilities launchpad for quantum startups. We’re building the infrastructure and bringing companies in around it. These commitments show that our strategy is working.” Want to join Maybell?

Niklas Zennström, co-founder of Skype and Founder & CEO of Atomico, has joined PsiQuantum’s Board of Directors, bringing decades of experience building, scaling and investing in category-defining technology companies. The move follows a series of senior leadership additions this year, including Victor Peng as CEO, Robert Soderbery as EVP, Sriram Sitaraman as CIO, and Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan joining the board. Prof. Jeremy O'Brien, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of PsiQuantum, highlighted the philosophy Zennström brings to the company: “Niklas' throughline is a belief that private capital and entrepreneurial disruption, if pointed at the right problems, can serve societal good.” With PsiQuantum focused on building utility-scale quantum computing, the appointment adds another experienced technology founder and investor to a board increasingly shaped around scale, deep tech and commercialization. #PsiQuantum #QuantumComputing #Technology #ReadITQuik

So proud to see The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga as the Founding Academic Partner of CO.LAB Q! Chattanooga continues to show what’s possible when public, private, and academic partners come together to build an innovation ecosystem. There is so much potential ahead in quantum, and I’m excited to see how we can advance research, education, and innovation through these new partnerships and opportunities—and help shape what comes next.

CO.LAB. Demystifying Quantum Commercialization I am VERY excited to announce CO.LAB Q—a 12-month commercialization studio designed to help quantum startups and research teams move from scientific breakthrough to commercial proof, and from commercial proof to scale. Quantum founders need access to specialized infrastructure, technical experts, customers with consequential problems, partners willing to test solutions and investors who understand deep technology. CO.LAB Q brings those pieces together through individualized support built around the specific risks and milestones of each company. We could not do this without an extraordinary group of founding partners: • Quantinuum, our Founding Compute Partner • Davidson Technologies, our Founding Defense Track Sponsor • The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, our Founding Academic Partner • Middle Tennessee Electric, our Founding Utility Partner • EPB Quantum, our Quantum Network Partner Together with our broader Tennessee Valley ecosystem partners —including TVA, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Vanderbilt University, the Chattanooga Quantum Collaborative, IonQ and industry partners across multiple sectors—we are building a nationally distinct environment where quantum technologies can move from the lab into real-world use. I am incredibly proud of the CO.LAB team and grateful to every partner who has helped bring this vision to life. This is an important step for CO.LAB, for Chattanooga and for the emerging quantum economy. Applications are now open on a rolling basis, and the program begins in November 2026.

"All eyes on Science Corp, whose PRIMA vision implant received commercial clearance in the EU. The company also announced a new engineering leader who joined after 15 years at Butterfly Network. One could argue this officially launches Science into “first place” among commercial BCI. " https://lnkd.in/exhW_3mc

🚀 From today onwards, we are starting our transformation to The InnoQlar Group. This transition marks a major milestone in our mission to build quantum technologies responsibly, equitably, and globally. Here is what this next chapter brings: 🔬 Expanded capabilities & infrastructure following our recent acquisition of Nodalyne Scientific's #LabSecOps platform. We are also deepening our research footprint with the launch of our publishing company, InnoQlar Academic Press, and our new flagship journal: the Journal of Quantum Biosystems Engineering (JQBio). 👉 Keep an eye out for our upcoming call for papers for our inaugural "Foundations" special issue—we are aiming to publish 10 manuscripts by the end next year. 🌐 Global Impact & LATAM Expansion: We are strengthening our global footprint, highlighted by our #QSec interest group and InnoQlar LATAM—a dedicated consultancy shaping the region’s post-quantum cryptographic landscape. 🤝 Research Meets Commercialization: As The InnoQlar Group, we will continue actively supporting new interest groups, driving public and private grant-funded consortia, and bridging the gap between cutting-edge research and real-world commercial utilization. Thank you to our partners, researchers, and community for being part of this journey. Big things are on the horizon. #QuantumTechnology #PostQuantumCryptography #Rebrand #Innovation #DeepTech #InnoQlarGroup
