This initiative signifies SoftServe’s commitment to advance technological advances and empower the next generation of quantum computing talent. Additionally, the bootcamp offered unique networking opportunities with renowned multinational companies, including NVIDIA, IBM and AWS.
“We are proud to work with our dedicated partners in nurturing Singaporean talent in the quantum computing space,” said Wen Huang, Chief Technology Officer of SoftServe APAC. “SoftServe’s commitment to innovation, engineering excellence and talent development aligns with the goals of the Quantum Bootcamp. We look forward to further initiatives like this, playing our part in positioning Singapore as destination of global innovation”.
The program culminated with presentations demonstrating how quantum computing can transform traditional approaches and unlock new business opportunities, giving regional industries a glimpse into the future of operational efficiency, cost optimization and strategic decision-making capabilities.
“Quantum technologies are here to stay and the field is moving very fast,” said Jos Ignacio Latorre, Lead Principal Investigator for NQCH and Director of the Center for Quantum Technologies. “Students have done well to dive into the field and complete the program. We look forward to seeing where and how they take their education to the next level in the quantum ecosystem.”
The Quantum Bootcamp awarded three winners in the following categories: Best Overall Project, Best Technical Contribution and Most Valuable to Industry. The winning entries were selected based on a comprehensive quality assessment, including R&D attributes such as demonstrating a curriculum-based functional proof of concept (PoC), showcasing innovative solutions, and most importantly, highlighting the significance of the quantum solution when addressing these industry cases.
“IMDA is excited to support the first bootcamp and the first steps towards creating a new era of quantum computing intelligence and innovation,” said Koh Wee-Sain, Acting Cluster Director, Engineering, Biztech Group, IMDA. “The whole program has already shown us a myriad of possibilities to exploit this technology in different industries and challenging situations. We are eager to see this bootcamp bring these possibilities to life.”
