    Full Circle: Quantum, Business and Building Ecosystems – with Amro Imam

    Full Circle: Quantum, Business and Building Ecosystems – with Amro Imam(https://www.linkedin.com/in/amroimam/) In this episode, I’m joined by Amro Imam — my very first guest on Beyond the Bit: Quantum Pathways — exactly one year after we recorded the first episode of the show. Amro is a physicist turned deep-tech operator who recently completed an MBA at NYU Abu Dhabi and is now building QAM, a new initiative focused on growing the quantum ecosystem across the Arab world through research collaboration, education, translation, and large-scale hackathons. The conversation goes beyond hardware roadmaps into what it actually takes to scale quantum: talent, capital, ecosystems, and long-term thinking. We discuss: 🧠 How the quantum industry has changed over the past 12 months🎓 Why Amro moved from pure research into business and venture building💼 The real challenges quantum startups face when dealing with investors🤖 The growing overlap between quantum and AI funding narratives🌍 Building sustainable quantum ecosystems in the Middle East and North Africa📚 Removing language barriers through Arabic quantum education and translation⚙️ Why hackathons are one of the most effective tools for developing new quantum talent 🔗 QAM on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/qam-%D9%83%D9%85/💬 Join the QAM community on Discord: https://discord.gg/dH4H8rTayh #QuantumComputing, #QuantumEcosystem, #DeepTech, #QuantumStartups, #QuantumCareers, #MiddleEastTech, #MENAtech, #TechEcosystems, #VentureBuilding, #BeyondTheBit, #Podcast
