Quantum Alberta has four main categories of membership.
Academic Membership is intended for Alberta-based academics with interests and activities in quantum research and technology.
Industry Membership is intended for Alberta-based companies with commercial activity and/or research and development activities in or supportive of quantum science, engineering, and technology.
Industry partnership is intended for companies (both Alberta-based and those outside the province) with interests in connecting to the Alberta quantum ecosystem.
Quantum Alberta Partnership is intended for other entities: individuals, researchers, government agencies, non-profit organizations who are interested in connecting to the Alberta quantum ecosystem, but may not be actively or directly engaged in quantum research and development activities.
