Duality Corporate Collision
Corporate Collision provides an opportunity for our corporate partners to discover, connect and collaborate with some of the nation’s top quantum startups.
Select corporations will have the opportunity to present a short “reverse pitch” (5 minutes) sharing more about your company’s innovation initiatives including specific challenges or areas of interest that your company is seeking innovative solutions/partnerships for. Companies will then have an opportunity to hear from startups as they pitch/showcase their technologies.
Following the pitches, we will have a networking reception and additional follow up opportunities for meetings with the startups of interest.
