Season Two, Episode one: The role of funding/finance in advancing Quantum Research and Innovation

Season two is here! Following the centenary celebrations of modern quantum science, this conversation looks beyond scientific discovery to a critical question: How do we finance, develop and sustain the people, institutions and partnerships needed for Africa to participate meaningfully in the quantum future? The dialogue brings together perspectives from quantum science, academia, finance and the media, featuring Emeritus Professor Joseph Niemela of ICTP, Dr. Henry Martin of KNUST, Mr. Festus Brew Quansah of the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission, and Mr. Edward Acquah of the Ghana News Agency, with Ms. Priscilla Esinu Selase Lartsey, Founder & CEO of AIER, as moderator. From scientific capacity building and research infrastructure to investment, international collaboration and public engagement, this episode asks what it will take to transform Africa's scientific potential into sustainable innovation and development.
