Quantinuum and Al Rabban Capital have announced the formation of a Qatari joint venture aimed at accelerating the adoption of quantum computing in Qatar and the wider Gulf region. The initiative, backed by up to $1 billion in investment over 10 years, will focus on providing access to Quantinuum’s technology, co-developing region-specific quantum applications, and training a local quantum workforce.
The venture was highlighted during the U.S. President’s state visit to Qatar and builds on Quantinuum’s prior collaboration with Hamad Bin Khalifa University and the Qatar Center for Quantum Computing (QC2). Strategic application areas include energy, materials discovery, precision medicine, financial services, and Generative Quantum AI (GenQAI).
This marks Quantinuum’s first major move into the Gulf region and aligns with broader U.S.-Qatar strategic cooperation in next-generation technologies. Quantinuum currently operates globally across the U.S., U.K., Europe, and Indo-Pacific regions.
