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 100 members, representing more than 50 organizations across New York State have joined this group to help develop and implement a strategy for quantum science and technology (QIST) job growth.

New York's Quantum Consortium's work is focused on five primary goals:

  • Establish New York as the U.S. leader in quantum technologies;
  • Help New York 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 grow and remain in the state;
  • Strengthen the STEM education infrastructure and develop QIST workforce development plans that support continued growth of the industry; and
  • Support quantum innovation across New York State.

In support of these goals, the Consortium has established five working groups: ecosystem building; workforce development/talent pipeline; government relations; end-user adoption; and, advocacy.
