Our two countries first formalised scientific collaboration in 2016, and in 2023 we took a major step forward with the signing of the <strong>First Executive Programme<\/strong>, where quantum technology emerged as a key area of joint focus\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But what truly made the event special was the dialogue between brilliant minds who embody this intersection of science and imagination.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>BJ Han<\/strong>, CEO of <strong>SiliconBox<\/strong>, brought an industry-shaping perspective on semiconductors and the future of quantum-enabled hardware \u2014 a field where both Italy and Singapore are investing heavily.
