From policy to talent: Amaravati Quantum Valley’s innovation blueprint
To put Amaravati among the top five global quantum hubs by 2030, competing alongside established centres in Chicago, Munich, Singapore, and Australia, Andhra Pradesh started with regulation
Amaravati, a city in Andhra Pradesh, India, is on the cusp of revolutionizing the field of quantum computing. For years, such groundbreaking technology belonged to an exclusive club of labs in the West and East Asia, leaving developing nations in a passive role. However, in Amaravati, engineers and policymakers are aiming to overturn this status quo.
The Amaravati Quantum Valley (AQV), a greenfield project, is set to become South Asia's leading deep tech hub, with the goal of India not merely utilizing quantum computers, but constructing them.
This ambition was initiated by Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu, who envisioned a frontier technology center in Amaravati, going beyond merely purchasing foreign supercomputers. Supported by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the project aims to establish a self-sustaining hardware ecosystem within Andhra Pradesh. Naidu emphasized that importing a machine would not suffice; the state needed to build its own quantum hardware infrastructure from the ground up.
