Building a thriving quantum industry
The Australian Quantum Alliance forms part of the Tech Council of Australia. Our vision is for a thriving quantum industry in Australia that enables innovation, jobs and economic prosperity.
The Tech Council was founded on the principle that technology can bring vast economic and social benefits. As one of Australia’s leading technology sub-sectors, quantum technology is uniquely placed to offer the most innovative solutions to the world.
The Alliance’s mission is to promote, strengthen and connect Australia’s quantum industry.
