SUPERQ QUANTUM COMPUTING LAUNCHES WORLD'S FIRST QUANTUM SUPER HUB TO WIDESPREAD ACCLAIM; FEATURED ON GLOBAL NEWS, CTV AND OTHERS

SuperQ Quantum Computing Inc. has officially opened the world's first superhub at the Tecconnect innovation centre operated by Economic Development Lethbridge. This milestone marks a new era for quantum and supercomputing accessibility, positioning Lethbridge and Alberta at the forefront of global technology innovation.

The superhub is a dedicated centre where businesses, government bodies, researchers, students and innovators can access the Super platform -- a natural-language based ChatGPT-like platform that combines quantum, AI (artificial intelligence) and high-performance computing to solve real-world problems. Supported by expert guidance and comprehensive training, the superhub is designed to accelerate adoption and impact across industries.

A model for global quantum innovation

The Lethbridge superhub is the first in a planned global network of superhubs, with additional locations set to launch across Canada, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Europe, India and other key international centres. The Tecconnect location was selected for its strategic significance as the emerging tech corridor of Alberta with a proven record of pioneering AI, blockchain and IoT (Internet of Things) programs catering to industry needs. Moreover, Lethbridge is the convergence point of Canada's premier food corridor and Western gateway that comprises major manufacturing and supply chain activities.

Community support and media fervour

The launch has already attracted significant attention from business executives, innovation leaders, economic developers and scientists, who have already begun leveraging the Super platform for hands-on problem solving. Economic Development Lethbridge and SuperQ Quantum have been actively hosting demonstrations, workshops and training sessions to empower users and foster a vibrant quantum and supercomputing ecosystem. Alberta's Minister of Technology and Innovation, Nate Glubish, highlighted the hub and its significance for the province's booming tech sector.

The launch event and its impact have been widely covered by leading Canadian and international media.

Leadership and partner quotes

Mr. Glubish, Alberta's Minister of Technology and Innovation, stated on LinkedIn: "Alberta tech is booming -- from Lethbridge and Medicine Hat to Grande Prairie and Fort McMurray. The quantum hub is especially relevant for industries with complex decision making like agriculture, transportation, manufacturing, finance, and postsecondary or STEM [science, technology, engineering and mathematics] education offering hands-on exposure to emerging technology."

Renae Barlow, vice-president of entrepreneurship and innovation at Economic Development Lethbridge, added: "Lethbridge is now home to world's first quantum superhub, giving local companies a competitive edge by unlocking powerful computing capabilities that were previously accessible only to large tech centres or research labs."

"Quantum and supercomputing isn't a future promise -- it's delivering ROI [return on investment] today," commented Dr. Muhammad Khan, chief executive officer and board chair of SuperQ Quantum. "Our Super platform is the ChatGPT for this industry, empowering businesses to harness quantum advantage without needing specialized training. We are thrilled to partner with Economic Development Lethbridge to make quantum and supercomputing accessible to every business and individual in Alberta and beyond."

Eyren Uggenti, who is the head of professional services at SuperQ Quantum and leading the Lethbridge superhub, said: "This is a unique opportunity for industry as well as students and researchers from the University of Lethbridge and Lethbridge Polytechnic to immerse in these technologies. Even the access for researchers is a very exciting proposition with the hub being fully operational now."
