Sovereign Superconducting Hardware Initiative Launched in Abu Dhabi
The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), the applied research pillar of Abu Dhabi’s Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), has established a hardware program to construct the United Arab Emirates’ first domestic quantum computer. Operating from the dedicated laboratories of TII’s Quantum Research Centre (QRC), the project is being executed through a strategic international collaboration with Barcelona-based deep-tech startup Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech. The engineering initiative is directed by QRC Chief Researcher Professor José Ignacio Latorre and aims to establish localized hardware sovereignty while supporting the UAE’s broader macroeconomic shift away from oil dependency and toward a structured, knowledge-based digital economy.
