Activating Multilateral Governance for the SDGs
At OQI, we are providing a neutral forum to help shape the future multilateral governance of quantum computing for the SDGs.
Switching on multilateral anticipation
OQI has the potential to be the first truly multilateral effort to anticipate the future of quantum computing. As a neutral, multistakeholder platform, OQI is working to develop an effective governance approach to ensure that quantum computing is harnessed to advance applications that tackle real-world global challenges.
Since 2021, the OQI has been curating a diplomatic dialogue on quantum computing, with permanent representations in Geneva – with inputs from UN international organisations, the private sector and academia. As a first step, OQI is working on the basis for a common understanding of multilateral governance themes most relevant to quantum computing. The outcome of this work is shown in our annual Intelligence Report.
Continuing this dialogue, OQI has created Quantum Unplugged, an initiative that invites the diplomatic community to collaboratively explore the concepts of quantum mechanics and quantum computing – fostering open dialogue and leaving jargon at the door.
Together with the diplomatic community, we are working to collaboratively build capacity and co-shape the developing technology for the benefit of all.
