DEWA Discusses Quantum Computing in Electricity & Water Production

Al Tayer noted DEWA cooperates with Microsoft to develop innovative solutions based on quantum computing for the production, transmission and distribution of electricity and water, as well as conservation. They also work to identify the challenges that quantum computing can overcome, considering its immense capabilities.

Marwan Bin Haidar, Executive Vice President of Innovation & the Future at DEWA, noted that DEWA is the first utility in the world and the first organisation outside the US to participate in Microsoft’s Quantum Computing programme. DEWA is the first government utility in the world to join the San Francisco-based Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution of the World Economic Forum (WEF) as a partner. The Centre includes international organisations such as Microsoft, SAP, and ABB.
