Summit targets AI and quantum computing in drug discovery
The one-day event is built around the question "What makes the next breakthrough possible?" Organizers say advances in artificial intelligence and quantum computing, combined with cross-sector collaboration, can open new routes for scientific innovation. The program will concentrate on the expertise, partnerships and resources needed to turn those technologies into scientific progress.
QuNorth CEO and Massachusetts economic development secretary headline the program
Ebba Carbonnier, CEO of QuNorth, will give a keynote on the company's effort to build one of the world's most powerful quantum computers. Eric Paley, secretary of economic development for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, will join a panel. Researchers, entrepreneurs, investors and industry executives will lead further discussions.
