​Overview - Washington has what it takes to lead in quantum top-tier research, major tech players, and a growing innovation ecosystem. What’s missing is a coordinated strategy. The 2025 Policy Matters Summit will bring together policymakers, educators, industry, and startups to launch a shared vision for Washington’s quantum future.

​Summit Goals -

1. ​Position Washington as a hub for quantum R&D, talent, and commercialization
2. ​Spark collaboration and follow-on action statewide

​Why Now - States like Texas, Illinois, and Maryland are moving fast - passing laws, building hubs, and attracting funding. Washington has the assets. This Summit is our chance to catch up - and take the lead.
