Since the first industrial revolution, progress has depended on building bridges across growing specialisations, enabling the flow of ideas, people, and disciplines.

This vision underpins the creation of a powerful network designed to attract and amplify talent, positioning the Basque Country within an influential international ecosystem of companies, universities, and organisations shaping the global scientific agenda. A cornerstone of this strategy is the launch of Europe's first IBM Quantum System Two, whose capabilities will drive advances in new materials, industrial and biomedical processes, and artificial intelligence.

Looking ahead, computation will move beyond individual machines toward vast, interconnected systems working as one. In the quantum era, shared knowledge will grow exponentially, strengthening relationships and turning collaboration into the engine of future progress. To be continued.
