We're proud to be part of the conversation about the technologies shaping Florida's future.

Dr. Luis Petnzke, Palm Beach State College's associate dean of Computer Science, joined Barbara Cipriano, Lake Worth campus provost and Matt Lenihan, director of Academic and Business Partnerships, at the Chamber of Commerce of the Palm Beaches' AI & Technology Committee seminar, "Building Florida's Quantum Future."

Dr. Pentzke spoke about quantum technology and PBSC's Quantum Innovation Center, highlighting how PBSC is helping prepate students and our community for the opportunities ahead.

Lenihan highlighted PBSC's partnerships with many of Palm Beach County's leading employers and invited businesses and community leaders to collaborate with the College in shaping the emerging quantum ecosystem in the County.

As AI and quantum technologies continue to transform the way we live, work and do business, Palm Beach State is proud to be at the table, bringing education, industry and innovation together to help build Florida's technology future.
