A significant milestone will be the incorporation of the International Center for Quantum Computing, a collaboration between Fujitsu, Cesga, and the support of the Xunta de Galicia (Galician Regional Government). This center, with an international focus, aims to position Galicia as a leader in quantum computing, improving the competitiveness of Galician businesses and the public sector.
It is essential to highlight that the opening of this office is not limited to commercial activities, but focuses on the creation of highly skilled jobs. Fujitsu has already established collaborations with renowned academic institutions such as the University of Santiago de Compostela (Citius), the University of A Coruña (Citic), and Cesga. Furthermore, the company is part of the Galician Quantum Network, playing a crucial role as a driving force in the region. In addition, Fujitsu is actively involved in the Galician Inter-University Master's Program in Quantum Mechanics, offering classes and internships to students with the opportunity to join the company.
Fujitsu has also established collaborations with Galician companies such as Hijos de Rivera, Zendal, Nueva Pescanova and Finsa for the application of "quantum inspired" technologies using the Fujitsu Digital Annealer.
The company has extensive technological capabilities, especially in sectors of relevance to the public sector, including genomics in the field of health, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and services for Justice.
The International Quantum Center, headquartered in Santiago de Compostela since February 1st, aims to accelerate the market entry of quantum technologies by working closely with the public-private ecosystem. Collaborations are being established with Galician stakeholders at the European level in the areas of quantum computing and post-quantum cryptography, including leading institutions such as TU Delft. Furthermore, quantum applications are being explored to improve sustainability and quality of life in areas such as the environment, in line with Fujitsu Uvance's global strategy.
Almudena Justo, Director of the Fujitsu International Quantum Center, will head the new office in Galicia and emphasizes the importance of this milestone for the company: "We are establishing the new office in Galicia thanks to the contract with Cesga that we won in 2023, where we are supplying the most powerful quantum computer in Spain and Southern Europe, which is currently installed. Thanks to this opportunity, we are consolidating our presence in Galicia, strengthening our commitment to Cesga and the Galician Regional Government (Xunta), creating skilled jobs and value for the region."
The opening of Fujitsu's office in Santiago de Compostela reflects the company's commitment to Galicia and its dedication to technological development and job creation in the region, further strengthening its presence in the Spanish and European market.
