The Westchester County Office of Economic Development, in partnership with the New York City Economic Development Corporation, established a Quantum Consortium in 2023, and has since established four working groups: Ecosystem Building, End User Adoption, Government Relations and Workforce Development/Talent Pipeline. More than 40 members, representing 25 organizations, from across New York State have joined this group to help develop a strategy for quantum information science and technology (QIST) job growth.
Among the QUANTUM Consortium’s goals, are:
- Establish New York as THE U.S. leader in quantum technologies;
- Help NY State become the center of manufacturing for the quantum industry;
- Develop and implement a comprehensive strategy that ensures quantum information science and technology (QIST) jobs will start, grow, and remain in the state;
- Strengthen the STEM education infrastructure, from K to career; and,
- Develop QIST workforce development plans that embrace equity and diversity.
