It aims to bring together students, educators, researchers, engineers, entrepreneurs and industry professionals to learn, collaborate and engage with emerging technologies through workshops, technical sessions, study circles, project sprints, showcases and community-led learning initiatives.
The launch comes at a time when Karnataka is emerging as India's quantum technology hub. The State's Rs. 1,000 crore Karnataka Quantum Mission targets a 20 billion US dollars quantum economy by 2035, with significant investments planned in infrastructure, research and talent development. Mysore Quantum AI is positioned to contribute to this wider mission by building quantum awareness and capability at the grassroots level in Mysuru.
