The European Commission has put forward a strategy to make Europe a global leader in quantum technology by 2030. The strategy will help to develop the quantum sector, while maintaining Europe’s scientific leadership. This will also boost the EU’s competitiveness, tech sovereignty, and security.
The strategy focuses on five areas: research and innovation, quantum infrastructures, ecosystem strengthening, space and dual-use technologies, and quantum skills. Specific actions have been identified to meet the strategy’s objectives, such as:
- Launching the Quantum Europe research and innovation initiative
- establishing a quantum design facility and six quantum chips pilot lines
- Launching a pilot facility for the European quantum internet
- expanding the network of Quantum Competence Clusters across the EU and establishing the European quantum skills academy in 2026
- developing a quantum technology roadmap in space with the European Space Agency and contributing to the European armament technological roadmap
