Why did you choose to partner with QuEra?
Alexandra Beckstein: I think QuEra was one of our very first partners. And the collaboration has been since extremely effective in our shared vision of building an ecosystem in which users, developers, investors and startups grow together through their collaboration. And to give a boost to a technology that is currently the development phase. Our partner QuEra enabled the startups and scale-ups to develop their applications on their hardware and to work directly with their engineers. In this approach, not only the startups use the platform in the short term, but also the users of the startup product. This leads of course to a long term networking success between end user startups and hardware developers.
Together with QuEra, what benefits are you hoping to deliver to customers?
Alexandra Beckstein: QAI Ventures has two different types of customers. One customer is of course the startups and the other customer is the corporate partner that needs to have access to the startup's innovation. So our partner QuEra enables the startups and scale-ups to develop their applications on the hardware and to work directly with the engineers of QuEra In this approach, not only the startups use the platform in short term but also develop applications that are then used by the end user. This leads to a long term networking success between end users, startups and hardware developers. As then not only the startups use the platform but also the corporate partners.
