FirstQFM Co-founder and CTO Isaiah Hull will give a keynote on quantum technology at the inaugural conference of the Economic Data Science Society, hosted by Banque de France in Paris on July 9 and 10, 2026.

The conference is focused on the use of data science methods to better understand economic activity and support decision-making in academic and policy environments. The program is open to participants from public, private, and academic institutions, including students.

EDSS brings together researchers and practitioners working across economics, data science, AI, machine learning, and non-traditional data. The conference provides a forum for interdisciplinary discussion among central banks, international institutions, universities, and private companies.
