  <Name>Quantum-AI Governance Strategic Roadmap</Name>
  <Description>The Quantum-AI Governance Strategic Roadmap, developed by the Institute for
    Science, Entrepreneurship and Investments (ISEI), addresses a critical gap in the global
    governance landscape: no major international institution has yet published a comprehensive,
    dedicated framework for the convergence of quantum computing and artificial intelligence.
    While the World Economic Forum, the Council of the European Union, the OECD, NIST, and IEEE
    have each produced foundational work in quantum or AI governance separately, the landscape
    remains fragmented. This roadmap is designed to support governments, enterprises, the
    investment ecosystem, and international organizations in establishing trusted, resilient,
    and future-ready Quantum-AI ecosystems.</Description>
