Claudia Nemat Takes Helm of IQM’s Quantum Council to Drive Industry Growth

Claudia Nemat has assumed the role of chair of IQM’s Quantum Council, succeeding Dr Axel Thierauf. The strategic advisory body guides the company’s work in sovereign quantum computing. Her appointment comes as the industry urges faster commercial adoption and responsible development.

Nemat brings robust leadership qualities, having previously served on the Board of Management at Deutsche Telekom, overseeing innovation and digital transformation.

The Quantum Council was established five years ago to drive progress in quantum technology. Its focus spans innovation, education, and policy influence across industry, academia, and government. Under Nemat’s leadership, the group will now prioritize strategic policy work and collaboration to hasten market growth.

IQM’s co-CEO and co-founder, Dr Jan Goetz, praised Nemat’s expertise in advancing fault-tolerant quantum computing. He also acknowledged the contributions of Antti Vasara, another key figure in the field. Their combined experience is expected to help build a stronger quantum ecosystem.

Nemat’s role will center on accelerating commercial adoption while ensuring responsible practices. The council aims to establish best practices for industries relying on advanced computation and data security. This move aligns with IQM’s goal of securing a leading position in the rapidly evolving quantum landscape.

The appointment underscores IQM’s commitment to a secure and innovative quantum future. Nemat’s leadership will shape policy and collaboration within the sector. For industries dependent on cutting-edge computation, this marks a key step toward unlocking quantum technology’s potential.
