Governor JB Pritzker announced that Canadian firm Zero Point Cryogenics (ZPC) will open its first U.S. operation within the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP) in southern Chicago. ZPC specializes in ultra-low temperature cryogenic systems essential for quantum technologies. The company will establish research and development, sales, and technical services operations at the park, serving as a supplier of cryogenic infrastructure for other firms operating there.
