What We Do
In March 2025, a select group of biopharma executives, computational scientists, investors and researchers met in Kendall Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts, for a one day program about the impact of quantum applications on drug discovery and how it will change the life sciences landscape in Massachusetts. Our speakers sparked conversations that engaged the audience and created a lively exchange among this dedicated group of quantum leaders in the life sciences.
Our Goals
Through our mission to leverage the unique convergence of technology and science in Massachusetts to accelerate quantum applications in the life sciences, we will:
1) Produce program that bring together a curated group of scientists and technologists for engaged discussions that identify and support quantum applications in the life sciences
2) Become a trusted resources for information about quantum applications in the life sciences
3) Create an accelerator in partnership with both the private and public sectors that will support the transfer of academic research into private industry applications.
The Salon Series
Over the upcoming months, we are hosting a series of intimate curated discussions, a salon series among these leaders, where we will discuss what’s possible, what are the steps that we need to take and how we can collaborate in Massachusetts and beyond to move quantum applications in the life sciences forward. There will be presentations of ideas, challenges to discuss for input and solutions and formalization of paths to move forward for adoption and integration into the life sciences development process. With a focus on high level interaction where everyone will contribute, it will be a purposely curated group of life sciences executives, investors and researchers along with their peers in quantum computing, that participate. We expect that opportunities will be identified and companies will be able to take their growth to the next level.
This three part series will take place quarterly through the end of 2025. The ideas and opportunities developed throughout the Salon Series will form the cornerstone of the second edition of Convergence Quantum in the first quarter of 2026.
The Conference
The 2026 edition of Convergence Quantum will expand upon the topics explored in the inaugural edition of the 2025 program and present the findings through the collaboration of ideas and opportunities that occur through the Salon Series.
