The federal government under the Biden-Harris administration, names the Chicago region as an Innovation Technology Hub for Quantum Tech. This milestone for Chicago land is a prestigious recognition that opens doors to new federal funding, and solidifies Chicago’s position as a hub for the country’s quantum economy.
