Vietnam's Gia Lai hosts regional quantum tech coordination meeting
On July 27, the SEA+ Quantum Coordinator Meeting was held in Gia Lai Province, Vietnam. The gathering brought together leading researchers, government officials, and scientific organisations from across Southeast Asia and neighbouring countries under the Chatham House Rule. Delegates discussed ways to build a unified quantum science and technology ecosystem, emphasizing knowledge exchange, resource sharing, and international cooperation.
Vietnamese authorities highlighted quantum technology as a strategic pillar alongside AI, semiconductors and cybersecurity. Deputy Director Nguyen Huu Ha stressed its potential to transform industries and society, while the event formed part of the Vietnam Quantum Roadshow, aiming to bring quantum concepts closer to students and the public and to foster a regional talent pipeline.
