From October 21-23, 2026, Universidad EIA in Envigado, Colombia will host Quantum Latino, a hybrid conference designed to forge a regional quantum ecosystem across Latin America. The event is structured around three interconnected themes: Quantum Research, Quantum Business, and Quantum for Everyone. Organizers aim to connect research with industry, government, and public understanding, reflecting a key component of building a sustainable quantum ecosystem by making quantum technologies understandable and accessible while creating pathways for people to develop the skills needed for the future. Quantum Latino is organized by QURECA, TEC12 and INEXSU.

QURECA’s Role Connecting Quantum Workforce and Education

QURECA’s extensive work in quantum workforce development supports the goals of Quantum Latino 2026, extending beyond event organization to address a critical need within the field. The company provides professional services, business development, and education and training designed to close the quantum skills gap, a challenge considered vital for sustainable growth. This commitment manifests in online courses, customized training programs, and educational partnerships intended to equip individuals and organizations with the necessary quantum knowledge.

Its contribution also bolsters career opportunities highlighted at the conference; QURECA’s learning platform offers training across quantum technologies and applications, ranging from introductory levels to specialized, industry-focused curricula, the company says. This focus on accessibility is a core principle of Quantum Latino, particularly evident in the program, which aims to broaden understanding beyond specialist audiences.

QURECA recognizes that the future of quantum technology relies not only on researchers and engineers, but also on a public equipped to understand and contribute to the field. Recent partnerships demonstrate QURECA’s dedication to expanding quantum education resources, according to the company. On July 28, 2026, the company announced a collaboration with SciSpace to bring AI-powered research tools to learners, and on July 21, 2026, QURECA partnered with SpinFlex to expand hands-on learning with spinEDU.

These initiatives, along with the partnership with Quantum Foundry announced on July 13, 2026, illustrate a proactive approach to building a robust quantum ecosystem. Event promotional materials state, “Whether you are a researcher, entrepreneur, start-up, industry professional, student or simply interested in understanding quantum technologies, Quantum Latino 2026 offers an opportunity to learn, connect and contribute,” reflecting QURECA’s central role in facilitating that participation.

Quantum Latino 2026 Program Themes, Research, Business, Outreach

Quantum Latino 2026, scheduled for October 21-23 at Universidad EIA in Envigado, Colombia, aims to solidify Latin America’s position within the global quantum technology landscape. A recent partnership between QURECA and SciSpace will bolster the event’s research component. The collaboration, announced on July 28, 2026, integrates SciSpace’s artificial intelligence-powered research tools directly into QURECA’s learning platform, providing attendees with enhanced access to scientific literature and accelerating knowledge dissemination.

This initiative supports the conference’s first theme, Quantum Research, which will feature research talks, keynotes, and career-focused networking opportunities. Beyond scientific advancement, Quantum Latino connects research with practical application, a strategy reflected in its second thematic pillar: Quantum Business, the company says. TEC12’s involvement underscores this focus, bringing a network of organizations and institutions throughout the Americas to facilitate connections between technology developers, businesses, and investors.

This segment of the conference will host sessions, workshops, and panel discussions designed to explore the commercialization of quantum technologies and foster partnerships. QURECA’s contribution extends to this area through its business development services and focus on addressing the quantum workforce skills gap, ensuring a pipeline of talent to support emerging industries, the company states. Recognizing that widespread adoption requires broader understanding, the conference dedicates its final day, Quantum for Everyone, to outreach and accessibility.

INEXSU’s participation is central to this goal, emphasizing the importance of education and skill development for students, educators, and the general public. Hands-on quantum computing workshops and a unique quantum chess and board-games tournament are planned, reflecting a commitment to making the technology understandable and engaging for non-specialist audiences. This multifaceted approach positions Quantum Latino 2026 as a key event for building a sustainable and inclusive quantum ecosystem within Latin America.

SciSpace & SpinFlex Partnerships Enhance Quantum Learning Resources

QURECA’s expansion of quantum learning resources received a boost with new partnerships announced in July 2026, directly supporting the upcoming Quantum Latino conference and broader regional development. The organization collaborated with SciSpace, integrating its artificial intelligence-powered research tools to enhance access to quantum information for attendees and the wider Latin American community.

This initiative aims to overcome barriers to entry in the complex field of quantum technologies by streamlining the process of scientific discovery and knowledge acquisition. This collaboration focuses on providing practical, interactive experiences that complement theoretical knowledge, addressing a critical need for skilled professionals in the growing quantum sector.

The strategic partnerships underscore QURECA’s commitment to building a sustainable quantum ecosystem, recognizing that technological advancement requires a skilled workforce and broad public understanding, by the company’s account. By connecting research with industry and fostering talent development, these collaborations aim to position Latin America as a significant player in the global quantum landscape, moving beyond discussion towards meaningful collaboration and practical application.

Ivy Delaney has been working with neural networks and machine learning since the mid-nineties, back when a couple of hidden layers and a long afternoon of training counted as ambitious. She has watched the field go from academic curiosity to the thing quietly running underneath everything, and she brings that long view to quantum computing. For Quantum Zeitgeist she covers the ground where the two fields meet. That means quantum machine learning and the variational algorithms it leans on, and it also means the less glamorous but more interesting story of classical machine learning already doing real work inside quantum machines, decoding error-correcting codes, calibrating noisy hardware and learning the error models that simulators depend on. She writes about the hardware those algorithms have to run on too, and about the post-quantum cryptography scramble that the same hardware has set off. Her stories typically start with the paper, whether that is peer-reviewed work, conference proceedings or an arXiv preprint, with the source linked so you can hold a claim up against the research it came from. She is unimpressed by benchmarks that will not say what they beat, and by demonstrations that only work in the press release.
