Greeting Quantumplaters!
It’s been a few weeks of intense consideration of the impact on quantum computing in insurance. That will continue as we enter March, but we’re also lining up many excellent cross-industry webinars lined up. Do join us!
We’re also delighted that we have a discount code available for those of you who wish to join the talks at the upcoming Quantum Business Europe. Just apply QBE21-QTMLNDN at check-out.
We look forward to seeing you at one or more of these events.
