VIAneers take a Quantum Leap during largest ever in-person Power Up! meeting
At VIA, we believe that taking a step back from day-to-day work helps us find better ways to solve problems. That’s why we gather all of our VIAneers together twice a year for “Power Up!” to connect, share ideas, and plan for what’s next.
We recently held our largest ever in-person Power Up! in New Hampshire (between our Boston and Montreal offices), with the theme, “Quantum Leap: 2025 and Beyond.” This theme felt especially fitting as the United Nations declared 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology and we have launched our quantum-resistant digital signature and data encryption solution.
We embraced the “Quantum Leap” idea during this three-day event by showcasing hands-on demonstrations of our solutions and strategizing the ways to scale quickly in the fast-changing world of AI and quantum.
