OP Pohjola’s decision to partner with Qutwo demonstrates the foresight financial services leaders need for the hybrid-quantum era,” says Peter Sarlin, Chairman of Qutwo.

“We want to invest early in future capabilities by establishing this research unit with Qutwo, focusing on advanced applications of AI and quantum computing in financial services. This strengthens our competitive position as a financial services pioneer,” says Timo Ritakallio, CEO of OP Pohjola.With over 2.1 million customer-owners, OP Pohjola’s commitment validates enterprise readiness for next-generation AI infrastructure.
