Collaboration
We partner with universities, national research bodies, government entities and industry players to accelerate quantum-safe communication development and deployment. SIMAQ is headquartered on the campus of King Saud University in Riyadh, reflecting our commitment to close collaboration with the national research ecosystem.
Collaboration models
| Research partnerships | Joint work with universities and national labs |
| Pilot deployments | Proof-of-concept links on live or dedicated infrastructure |
| Government programs | Support for sovereign digital-infrastructure initiatives |
Consultation
Strategic advisory for quantum infrastructure planning: cryptographic-asset inventory, risk assessment against the “harvest now, decrypt later” threat model, and deployment-model design for QKD and PQC migration.
Typical engagement
| 1. Assess | Cryptographic inventory and risk assessment |
| 2. Design | Hybrid classical/PQC/QKD architecture aligned to NIST FIPS 203–205 |
| 3. Pilot | Controlled deployment on a defined network segment |
| 4. Scale | Phased rollout with operational handover and training |
Training
Structured programs covering quantum communication fundamentals, QKD operational systems, and next-generation encryption frameworks, designed for teams who will own and operate quantum-safe infrastructure.
Program tracks
| Foundations | Quantum threat model, QKD and PQC principles |
| Operations | Running and monitoring fibre/satellite QKD systems |
| Migration | Implementing NIST-standardized PQC algorithms |
