Japan Reports on Swiss Quantum Sector: Zurich Instruments

Last winter, seven leading Japanese journalists toured Switzerland, with the focus on highlighting Swiss initiatives in the quantum and AI sectors. The tour covered a series of quantum research centers, as well as Zurich Instruments, as one of the leading quantum ventures.

Among the series of articles recently published in Japan, Nikkei Crosstech (xTECH), a technology-oriented media platform for engineers and business leaders, focuses on Zurich Instruments. “The fact that this Swiss ecosystem is working well can be clearly seen in the quantum technology-related ventures in Switzerland”, reports xTECH. Indeed, Zurich Instruments is founded and grown from strong connections to basic research. “Switzerland’s strong venture support system was one of the enabling factors for the growth of Zurich Instruments; it permitted to focus on sustainable growth.”, said Sadik Hafizovic, the CEO of Zurich Instruments, for xTECH.

The Zurich Instruments team highly appreciates the efforts of Japan and the Federal Department for Foreign Affairs (EDA) for the visit, and the message about our mission to help advance science and accelerate the second quantum revolution.
