Andhra signs three partnerships to expand quantum tech training

Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Saturday said the Andhra Pradesh Skill Development Corporation has entered partnerships with three organisations to provide training in quantum computing.

Speaking at the 30th CII Partnership Summit in Vizag, Naidu said the Corporation has signed agreements with the Washington Institute for STEM, Entrepreneurship & Research (WISER), Qubitech Smart Solutions, and QKrishi Quantum to expand the state’s quantum technology talent pipeline.

“For my talented young friends in AP who aspire to build careers in quantum technology… This initiative will provide global-standard quantum training, virtual lab access, and career opportunities,” Naidu said in a post on X.

He said more than 50,000 learners across Andhra Pradesh — including students, researchers, and industry professionals — are expected to benefit.

The collaboration also supports the development of the Amaravati Quantum Valley as a global talent hub for innovation, he said.
