## Resource

This week, we speak with IQM CEO and Co-Founder Jan Goetz, and Peter Ort, CEO and Co-Chairman of Real Asset Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:RAAQ) about their $1.7 billion dollar combination, announced in February. As more quantum computing companies go public via SPACs, the industry is going global. Jan explains why IQM has based its own business model on selling quantum computing hardware and why he believes this enhances the company’s pipeline over time. Peter lays out the Real Asset’s team long engagement in the quantum computing space and why it chose IQM as the next big play in this emerging technology.
