NTT DATA and Kipu Quantum

Lima, Peru – March 12, 2025 – Quantum computing, long relegated to the realm of theoretical research, is beginning to materialize as a transformative force for business. In this context, the alliance between NTT DATA, a global giant in consulting and technology services, and Kipu Quantum, a pioneer in quantum computing solutions for the industry, emerges as a crucial milestone for the adoption of this disruptive technology in Latin America.

Quantum computing, with its ability to solve complex problems beyond the capabilities of classical computers, promises to revolutionize entire industries. From optimizing supply chains in logistics to detecting fraud in the financial sector, and developing new materials in the chemical industry, the applications are endless.

This alliance aims to be the catalyst for business and technology leaders in Latin America to explore and understand the potential of quantum computing, which is already beyond theoretical considerations. The industries that will benefit include banking, insurance, logistics, retail, manufacturing, telecommunications, mining, chemicals, and transportation.

The importance of this alliance lies in its ability to democratize access to quantum computing in Latin America. NTT DATA, with its extensive network of clients and deep knowledge of local market needs, acts as a bridge between Kipu Quantum's cutting-edge technology and companies seeking to innovate and gain a competitive edge.

"For NTT DATA, it is an honor to collaborate with Kipu Quantum. As a leading company in the field of quantum solutions, we will propose projects and platform services that will serve various industries, not only in Lima but also in Ibero-America," says Juan José Miranda, Director of Innovation at NTT DATA.

Meanwhile, Prof. Enrique Solano, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of Kipu Quantum adds, "The time has come for Peru to set the creative, productive, and technological pace of quantum computing for Latin America, both for academia and industry."

Kipu Quantum is setting new records with its quantum solutions, demonstrating the real-world impact of quantum advantage in multiple industrial applications. The company is working with the world's leading quantum hardware providers, strengthening their technology ecosystems. Meanwhile, Kipu's PLANQK platform has attracted over 200 companies, offering accessible entry to quantum computing without the need to be experts in quantum physics.

The initiative of NTT DATA and Kipu Quantum is a clear indicator of the growing interest and maturation of quantum computing as a viable tool for business. They will jointly hold an event on April 29 at NTT DATA's offices to delve into the future of computing and unlock the transformative potential of the quantum era. The race towards the quantum future has begun, and Latin America cannot be left behind.

The event will feature the participation of international and regional experts in quantum computing and digital transformation:

• Dr. Daniel Volz, CEO of Kipu Quantum
• Prof. Dr. Enrique Solano, Co-CEO of Kipu Quantum
• Mr. Juan José Miranda, Director of Innovation at NTT DATA
• Mr. Diego Correa, Digital Transformation Leader at NTT DATA

Topics to be addressed in the agenda include:

• Executive presentations on the current state and future of quantum computing in the tech world
• NTT DATA's stance on the disruption of quantum computing in Latin America's tech sectors
• Quantum computing solutions for current industrial problems in Latin America and worldwide
• Use cases and practical applications of quantum computing in various industries
• Live demonstration of the PLANQK platform and its quantum services and cloud-based quantum hardware access
• Networking sessions with leaders from the Peruvian and Latin American technology ecosystem, both academic and industrial
