National quantum programmes are accelerating worldwide, creating new opportunities for deeper collaboration and shared capability. This session looks at how the UK can strengthen partnerships with key allies, build on emerging frameworks and scale its own national initiatives to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving global landscape.

• How can we build upon the UK-U.S. Tech partnership announced as part of the recent State Visit?  
   
• What initiatives/programmes are there within the UK to foster innovation and development of quantum technologies?
