As states compete for the next generation of high-tech and innovation-driven jobs, Florida has scored another major win.
D-Wave Quantum Inc., a publicly traded pioneer in quantum computing, announced it will relocate its corporate headquarters from Silicon Valley to Boca Raton, Florida, betting on the state’s rapidly expanding technology ecosystem.
"Florida represents one of the fastest growing technology ecosystems in the United States, and as such it was the ideal choice for our new corporate headquarters and U.S. R&D facility," D-Wave CEO Dr. Alan Baratz said in a company press release. "The state offers a rich scientific and educational environment, a growing pool of highly skilled tech talent, and a vibrant spirit of innovation that made it attractive to D-Wave."
