Our objectives include ☑️ to raise awareness about the gender gap in leadership and decision-making roles within the investing ecosystem, ☑️ to strengthen the investment ecosystem for women across Europe, ☑️ to create an open, inclusive, and proactive group of key players, and of course ☑️ to support women investors from early-stage to long-term growth by offering peer-to-peer learning, knowledge sharing, mutual support, and co-investment among gender-focused investors.

A quantum computer with qubits achieves significantly more computing power than a conventional computer with bits. However, quantum computing is still largely at the basic research stage. Building a quantum computer requires stable qubits, special hardware and smart algorithms.   🔍 What makes quantum computers so special? 🔹 More power for complex tasks: Qubits offer more possibilities than classical bits. 🔹 Faster calculations: Parallelism and entanglement save time and resources. 🔹 Innovative algorithms: They are the key to efficient solutions.   🌟 Our vision 🌟 Collaboration, the exchange of creative ideas and the right funding instruments are the key to quantum innovation. At EurA, we promote such innovations through networks such as Quompute, EnQuTech and iQuSense to shape the quantum future together.   Find out all the details in our latest blog article by Mevludin Licina: 👉 https://lnkd.in/d6kGjjDZ   #quantumfuture #quantumtechnology #quantumcomputing #innovation
