Telangana to establish CoE for Quantum Computing in Hyderabad: IT Minister

Hyderabad, Nov 9 (UNI) Telangana government is planning to establish a Centre of Excellence (CoE) for Quantum Computing in Hyderabad in the coming months to promote research, innovation and development of advanced technology products, IT and Industries Minister D Sridhar Babu said on Monday.
Addressing after inaugurating the Global Capability Centre (GCC) of US-based SplashBI here, he said the proposed centre would provide advanced computing facilities to innovators and startups to develop niche products by combining Artificial Intelligence (AI) and quantum computing.
"Our ultimate goal is to make Hyderabad the capital for every emerging technology," he said, pointing out that the city had already emerged as a major centre for data analytics, cybersecurity and other advanced technology sectors.
The Minister said the combination of AI and quantum computing would take products and solutions to the next level, and the proposed centre would enable innovators to incubate their ideas and develop globally competitive products.
Emphasising the growing role of AI, he said the technology had become essential for industries, education and governance. The government was integrating AI into administrative systems to improve productivity, reduce costs and ensure faster delivery of public services.
He said industries that failed to embrace AI and emerging technologies risked becoming redundant, while the government was focusing on reskilling and upskilling the workforce to meet changing industry requirements.
With AI transforming conventional coding practices through low-code and no-code platforms, technology professionals needed to upgrade their skills to remain relevant, he added.
Sridhar Babu said around three to four lakh people were employed in Global Capability Centres (GCCs) across Telangana, reflecting the state's growing position in the global technology ecosystem.
He said Hyderabad's IT ecosystem had been built over three decades, beginning with initiatives to promote the sector in the mid-1990s, including the establishment of the Software Technology Park.
Calling upon multinational companies to move beyond conventional outsourcing operations, he said GCCs should evolve into Global Value Centres by developing innovative products and creating value for the global market.
The Minister assured technology companies of the government's support in providing infrastructure, coordination and other necessary facilities to facilitate their expansion in Telangana.
He said Hyderabad's skilled workforce, strong digital infrastructure and established technology ecosystem would help the city emerge as a leading destination for next-generation technologies.
