Let us explore  the latest developments in Science and Technology from London, a city at the forefront of innovation and ground-breaking discoveries. We  are  going to  explore the exciting world of scientific advancements and technological breakthroughs that are shaping the future of our society. The London Quantum Technology Cluster aims to position the capital as a global hub for quantum by uniting leading universities with businesses, communities, government and investors. Imperial is working with partner universities like UCL and King’s College London on the initiative. According  to the deputy  mayor of  London, supporting the development of London’s first Quantum Technology Cluster is an exciting moment as it brings together London’s leading universities, businesses, communities and investors to lay the groundwork for the quantum technology sector to thrive in London.The cluster is being seeded with an investment from the Mayor of London through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund as part of the city’s long-term economic growth strategy. It aims to create a thriving ecosystem that will accelerate the commercialisation of quantum research, support start-ups, and deliver tangible benefits for Londoners. This  is the future of innovations and the  creation of new  products  that  will  be brought  about through  cutting  edge technologies  and this is  what London is doing right  now  to  be able to  produce  newer  products  for the future. Projecting into the future  meant that  Forbes  magazine  recently  identified  thrity  Forbes  best intellectuals  from Imperial  college  London. To build its lists, Forbes magazine collected nominations from Under 30 alumni and the public, conducts its own research and gathers insight from a panel of independent judges. “The result: 300 young leaders steering the future of Europe, harnessing a moment of global uncertainty to build the future’s next great companies,” the magazine says.And  that is  a  future  with newer  innovations for  London, Europe  and the rest of the world.
