Anticipating the Quantum Leap
Despite experiencing a 50% decrease in global venture capital funding from roughly $2 billion in 2022 to about $1 billion in 2023, the quantum technology sector remains cautiously optimistic. This is due to a projected increase in governmental investments, with over 20 governments worldwide having developed formal policies to advance quantum technology, committing over $40 billion for the upcoming decade. Notably, the UAE and KSA have emerged with promising initiatives in the quantum market, indicating strong progress in the field. The region is trying to establish a quantum-ready infrastructure, demonstrating its commitment to adopting quantum technology and a significant presence in this advancing field.
