Come learn about CUW's newest technology hotspot
AI and quantum computing are tools that are expanding human creativity and discovery.
Concordia’s AI & Quantum Innovation Lab will bring together faculty expertise and student talent to prototype real solutions for industry and community partners—ethically, securely, and with purpose.
Rooted in Concordia’s mission, the Lab treats AI and quantum not merely as engines of efficiency but as tools for service: preparing vocation-ready graduates, deepening understanding, and advancing projects that bless the Church and the world.
