Fleming Joins OQC Board, Highlighting UK's Quantum Future

Oxford Quantum Circuits (OQC) has appointed Sir Jeremy Fleming, the former Director of the UK's Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), to its Board. This strategic move underscores the vital importance of quantum computing in enhancing the UK's national security, economic growth, and leadership in emerging technologies. During his tenure at GCHQ from 2017 to 2023, Sir Jeremy played a crucial role in transforming the agency into a global leader in cyber security, including the establishment of the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). This expertise will now benefit OQC as it seeks to expand its quantum computing capabilities vital for national infrastructure. Sir Jeremy emphasizes the necessity of maintaining UK leadership in quantum technologies to ensure national resilience and security. OQC, a leader in the field, recently made strides with significant UK Government tenders, demonstrating its forefront position in quantum computing, especially for sectors integral to national importance like security, defence, and finance.
