QAIX launched its global membership program offering companies access to physical office space in New York and a network spanning London, Dubai, Singapore and Tokyo, with memberships starting at $1,800. The Quantum Computing & AI Alliance, hosted by XDC Tech US, Inc., directly integrates NVIDIA’s AI resources and IBM’s financial services into member benefits.
“I’ve watched AI, quantum computing, digital assets, robotics and financial infrastructure grow up as five separate industries, and that’s just not true anymore,” says Atul Khekade, Founding Board Member at QAIX and Co-Founder of XDC Network. QAIX aims to connect Fortune 500 companies, fintechs and investors with emerging technology firms, influencing U.S. regulation of AI and digital assets.
Membership in the QAIX alliance begins at $1,800 annually, providing access to a network spanning New York, London, Dubai, Tokyo and Singapore, along with core benefits like community events and briefings. Beyond networking, QAIX offers tiered physical infrastructure access, starting with seven days of office space at its Manhattan headquarters for Explorer members and scaling to 30 days for those at the Executive level, NVIDIA says.
This physical presence is designed to accelerate market entry for international technology companies seeking a foothold in the United States, compressing what can be years of relationship-building into a more streamlined process. The alliance directly integrates resources from major technology companies. Members gain access to NVIDIA’s AI ecosystem and GPU resources, and IBM’s compliance, custody and asset tokenization services. This combination positions QAIX as a unique facilitator, bridging advanced technological infrastructure with practical financial services, and offering a bundled solution not typically available through traditional industry associations.
Members also participate in monthly working groups and Manhattan-based executive forums, intended to encourage collaboration around technology, market trends, and evolving policy landscapes. These forums are designed to provide a platform for face-to-face conversations and direct engagement with industry leaders, venture capital firms and financial institutions.
Khekade states, “They’re converging into one story,” adding that “QAIX is where companies come to be part of that story, in New York and in cities like Dubai, London, Tokyo and Singapore, instead of finding their way into it alone.” The alliance is structured to encourage active participation from its members, offering opportunities to contribute expertise, host events and shape local ecosystems around the core technologies. QAIX’s five membership paths, Global Growth Desk, Explorer, Access, Executive and Founding, provide flexibility based on desired levels of physical access, visibility and engagement.
Executive and Founding memberships include access to exclusive NVIDIA Inception and IBM Partner Plus programs, further expanding the ecosystem available to QAIX members, according to the company. These programs provide access to AI technologies, technical expertise, training, cloud resources and partner networks, all intended to accelerate product development and growth. The Founding Membership, limited in enrollment, offers Executive-level access at a discounted rate of $35,000 per year.
QAIX aims to build a community that actively shapes the future of these converging technologies, rather than simply observing its evolution. The alliance’s structure is designed to facilitate not just networking, but tangible outcomes like collaboration, capital access and commercial opportunities for its members.
