African Quantum Consortium - Quantum Computing Company Profile | Quantum Navigator

African Quantum Consortium

The African Quantum Consortium (AQC) is the first pan-African platform for quantum science, education, innovation, and policy across the continent, officially launched on August 5, 2025, after a year of foundational work. AQC is formally registered in South Africa as a nonprofit, providing operational and legal stability for coordinating quantum initiatives across African borders. Founded and convened by Farai Mazhandu with Zimbabwe connections, AQC is based in Zimbabwe and is a member of the Open Quantum Institute hosted by CERN. The consortium builds a shared foundation for quantum science and technology across Africa, addressing previous fragmentation of research efforts, isolated networks, and occasional funding without lasting coordination. AQC hosts quantum roundtables, develops a ‘State of Quantum in Africa’ white paper, and establishes initiatives for talent development and coordination. The consortium unifies Africa’s quantum ecosystem across research, policy, business, and civil society.

QuantumHispano

QuantumHispano is a Spanish-speaking quantum computing community founded in 2020 and based in Mexico City, creating Spanish-language resources for quantum computing education for approximately 450 million native Spanish speakers globally. The organization is classified as an IT Services and IT Consulting community with specialties in quantum computing, quantum physics, mathematics, physics, quantum machine learning, quantum architecture, quantum technologies, quantum optics, quantum software, quantum solutions, and quantum education. QuantumHispano breaks down language barriers holding back quantum computing progress in Spanish-speaking countries, addressing the challenge that most quantum computing resources are available only in English. The initiative plays an important role in making quantum computing accessible across Latin America and Spain, popularizing quantum technologies and providing educational materials in Spanish for students, researchers, and professionals pursuing quantum careers.
