Iain Stewart, President of the National Research Council of Canada, also delivered an address for the event.

In partnership with ISARA and the Canadian Embassy, and moderated by Dr. Arthur Herman, Hudson Senior Fellow and director of Hudson鈥檚 Quantum Alliance Initiative, leading experts from business, government, and academia discussed the unique processes and best practices of Quantum Valley, in order to derive lessons that the U.S. can apply to its own quantum sector.
