SDT and Innogrid Join Forces to Develop Hybrid Quantum Cloud

MOU Signed for "Hybrid Quantum Cloud Development"
Comprehensive Collaboration in R&D and Commercialization

SDT, a company specializing in quantum standard technology, announced on the 11th that it will join forces with Innogrid, a leader in cloud computing and digital transformation, to develop a "hybrid quantum cloud."

To this end, the two companies have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) and formed a technological alliance aimed at the future of computing. This agreement seeks to combine the core competencies of both companies to jointly develop innovative cloud services that integrate classical and quantum computing, as well as to identify potential business opportunities and, in the long term, expand the industrial ecosystem. To achieve this, they have agreed to establish a comprehensive collaboration system encompassing R&D, commercialization, and government project partnerships.

The core of this collaboration lies in merging SDT's quantum hardware and software infrastructure with Innogrid's cloud-native technology. The two companies plan to jointly develop technology based on a classical-quantum hybrid computing architecture and a high-performance quantum middleware system. They will also operate a hybrid testbed incorporating quantum simulators to further enhance technological completeness.

The partnership will extend beyond technology development to commercialization and market expansion. The companies will pursue various industry-specific proof-of-concept (PoC) projects based on the hybrid quantum cloud, and will actively engage in joint branding and participate in both domestic and international exhibitions to drive sales activities. Furthermore, they will jointly plan and introduce service models in the form of cloud managed service providers (MSP) and software as a service (SaaS) to the market.

Yoon Jiwon, CEO of SDT, stated, "Accessibility is the key to developing a hybrid quantum cloud," adding, "Through this collaboration, we will eliminate the initial investment burden for companies and research institutes, and provide an innovative environment where anyone can easily utilize quantum computing, thereby contributing to the expansion of the domestic quantum technology ecosystem."
