Lead the Future of Research and Education with World-class Quantum Labs

The quantum revolution is happening right now. Quantum technologies is changing everything you know about data security. The quantum market is projected to scale to a whopping $450 billion by 2040, and with this, there is a massive demand for quantum-skilled professionals is skyrocketing, offering up to 2.5x higher salaries than traditional tech roles. Major governments and tech giants are fuelling this growth with record-breaking investments. National Quantum Mission alone has committed over ₹6,003crore to make India a quantum superpower. Meanwhile, we see colleges around the world, even some of the most prestigious colleges, sloppy and behind time with their curricula. Now is your time to take a great leap and unlock world-class careers, impactful research, and collaborations with top organizations.

The Cost of Waiting

The quantum revolution is radically reshaping data security. With the anticipated demand of 1 qualified applicant for every 3 job openings in quantum by 2030, universities can capitalise on first-mover advantage and close the skills gap, attract global partnerships, and secure major research grants.

However, the majority of colleges and universities are still bound to the existing curricula and are almost unprepared to transition students and faculty to the amazing world of job possibilities. This now-or-never stage is your opportunity to partner with QNu Academy and leap ahead with:

  • Industry-aligned programs
  • State-of-the-art quantum laboratories
  • Contribute to faculty upskilling

to access meaningful research, global presence, and collaborations with leading organizations. Those who invest early in quantum education will lead India’s technology landscape, support their students and faculty, and stand out as part of the quantum elite.
