Next Level: The Intersection of Quantum, Capital, Supply Chains, and Open Source

Apr 16, 9:00 PM – Apr 17, 12:00 AM (UTC)

Denver

Infleqtion, 1315 West Century Drive, Louisville, 80027

A deep dive into the “bridges between” quantum, capital, supply chain, and open source—where emerging technologies transform economic power, drive innovation, and redefine the future of open markets.

In-person event

About this event

Quantum, Capital, Supply Chains, and Open Source are no longer emerging in parallel—they are forming bridges to a new dynamic economic foundation. This event explores how breakthroughs and challenges in quantum computing, supply chain optimization, decentralized financial infrastructure, open-source collaboration, and evolving capital models are re-configuring how value-alignment  is created, secured, and scaled. Together, these dynamic-forces are redefining innovation timelines, trust, ownership, and market access across industries and geographies.


This event explores the strategic intersection of four powerful forces:

  • Quantum — unlocking unprecedented computational power that will redefine security, optimization, materials science, finance, and artificial intelligence.

  • Capital — evolving investment models, risk frameworks, and financial instruments needed to support frontier technologies and long-horizon innovation.

  • Supply Chain — broadening vulnerabilities and challenges from quality (parts/costs), manufacturability, lead times to deployability.

  • Open Source — accelerating innovation through shared infrastructure, collective intelligence, and permissionless collaboration.


We kick off on April 16th from 3-6 PM at Infleqtion, a leading quantum company. Infleqtion isn’t just a standout in quantum—it’s helping shape the future of the industry. From neutral-atom quantum computing and advanced sensing to powerful software platforms, the company has built a remarkable reputation for turning frontier science into real-world momentum. With global installations, deep technical talent, and major milestones already under its belt, Infleqtion has become one of the most impressive and forward-driving names in quantum today. Infleqtion is the first Neutral-Atom Quantum company to go public.

Convening founders, investors, engineers, technologists, supply chain experts, and ecosystem leaders, the conversation focuses on why this intersection matters now, how these systems integrate in practice, and what it means for markets, companies, institutions, and communities. Attendees will gain clarity on where economic power is shifting, how new coordination, financing frameworks, and investment models are emerging, and how to engage responsibly and strategically in the next era of global innovation.


Hear from industry experts, leaders, companies, and stakeholders in the Quantum Ecosystem on how this shift will take place in Colorado and beyond. We'll host a presentation, fireside chat, panel, and other special activities to elevate quantum infrastructure. We'll be represented by high-level individuals from organizations like Infleqtion, Mesa Quantum, Colorado School of Mines, Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT), Vescent, Slalom, Octave Photonics and more.



What You’ll Take Away

Attendees will leave with:

  • A clear understanding of how these systems reinforce one another

  • Insight into where economic power is shifting—and why

  • Practical frameworks for navigating investment, innovation, and governance in a converging landscape

  • A shared vocabulary to engage across technical, financial, and policy domains



This is not just a technology conversation—it’s an economic, societal, and strategic dialogue about how the next era of markets will be built, funded, and governed.
