Cutting-edge labs in upstate New York are driving a new push to secure the future of tech, according to Spectrum News 1. Kirsten Gillibrand is promoting legislation to boost quantum security and expand regional innovation hubs.
Her proposal would strengthen the National Quantum Initiative by investing in local research, workforce training and supply chains tied to quantum technology. Supporters say that kind of coordination between government, academia and industry could keep the U.S. competitive globally.
Gillibrand spotlighted facilities in the Capital Region and Mohawk Valley, arguing that growing these hubs will not only advance security but also fuel local economies and job creation.
