SC Quantum is proud to recognize our two Platinum Sponsors for QuantathonV2: AgFirst Farm Credit Bank and the Columbia Area Development Partnership (CADP). Their extraordinary commitments reflect the spirit of the event and demonstrate the forward-looking leadership that is helping make South Carolina a dynamic and globally competitive destination for quantum talent and technology.
As the championship round of the 2025 International Quantum Circuit, QuantathonV2 represents more than a hackathon. It is an international gathering of students, mentors, and judges who come together to tackle real-world problems with quantum tools. The support of AgFirst and CADP ensures this work can happen at a scale that promotes quantum literacy and workforce development across our state and region.
AgFirst Farm Credit Bank has a long history of strengthening agriculture, rural economies, and the communities that feed the world. Their focus on innovation and building for the future connects directly to the mission of QuantathonV2. By developing stronger financial tools, exploring new approaches to data, and investing in solving complex problems, AgFirst embodies the kind of vision this event is designed to celebrate.
Columbia Area Development Partnership (CADP) serves as the lead authority for economic development in Richland County through a not-for-profit public-private partnership. By bringing together public and private resources, CADP helps drive the region’s rapid growth, strengthens its ability to attract global industry, and creates an environment where innovation can thrive. Their work to recruit and retain investment and high-quality jobs aligns directly with the opportunities created by South Carolina’s growing quantum ecosystem.
Together, AgFirst and CADP are showing what it means to support innovation, prepare talent, and create opportunity. SC Quantum is grateful for their partnership and proud to stand alongside them as we host QuantathonV2 in Columbia this October.
