Join CO.LAB, IonQ, CQC, TAEBC, and LaunchTN’s TTAC for a focused webinar tackling one critical question: how does breakthrough quantum research become real-world companies? Keynoted by Alex Challans of The Quantum Insider, this session brings together researchers-turned-founders who have successfully made the leap from lab to market, including voices from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the University of Tennessee system, and Tennessee’s broader quantum ecosystem. You’ll gain a clear, real-world view of the commercialization journey, including how ideas move from research environments into scalable companies and covering early traction, funding pathways, strategic partnerships, and the challenges founders face along the way. Through case studies, you’ll see how innovations evolve from national labs to startups, pilots, and acquisitions within Tennessee’s rapidly growing quantum ecosystem. This session also breaks down the support systems that make commercialization possible and shows how you can plug in—whether you’re a researcher, founder, or industry partner. If you care about turning cutting-edge research into real economic impact, this is where the path becomes clear.
