Sumitomo Corporation Quantum Transformation (QX) Project Will Exhibit Online at SXSW2022

– Quantum Transformation, The Next Paradigm Shift. –

TOKYO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#QX–Sumitomo Corporation�s Quantum Transformation (QX) Project will present at the South by Southwest (SXSW) 2022 conference from March 11^th – 20th. The QX Project was launched in March 2021 by Sumitomo Corporation, a global Fortune 500 trading and investment company, with the intent to provide new value to society by applying quantum computing technology to the wide-ranging industries in which the company operates. This is the world’s first project that defines “Quantum Transformation (QX)” as the next social paradigm shift, beyond “Digital Transformation (DX)”.

In the past year, the QX Project has been working on activities for the future society, such as the application of quantum computing to air traffic control for flying cars and the concept of quantum technology implementation based on the motif of a large-scale sustainable city of about 670 acres that Sumitomo Corporation is working on in North Hanoi.

Celebrating our project’s first anniversary, we will participate in SXSW, one of the world’s largest gatherings focused on innovation. Specifically, the QX Project team will participate in the “2050” track, showcasing its long-term goals and mission for the year 2050.
