The Quantum Europe Strategy: Building the future of technology with
security and trust
Europe is working on a new era focused on technological leadership by
utilising quantum
[https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/quantum#ecl-inpage-quantum-europe-strategy].
Quantum technology is powered by physics and looks at the composition
of particles in time and space. The European Commission is stimulating
the emergence of a strong, unified quantum ecosystem in which quantum
research can be conducted following the highest standards. Quantum
technologies will use elements of physics to help us solve complex
global challenges related to health, energy, logistics, and finance.

To position Europe as a global leader in quantum by 2030, the
Commission has adopted a Quantum Europe Strategy
[https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/quantum-europe-strategy].
Although, currently, Europe is facing challenges when it comes to
translating innovation capabilities into strong market opportunities,
this strategy’s aim is to allow the EU to become a strong quantum
leader, which helps startup growth whilst maintaining scientific
leadership.

 The strategy is composed of 5 main areas known as: Research and
Innovation, Quantum Infrastructures, Strengthening the Quantum
Ecosystem, Space and Dual-Use Quantum Technologies (Security and
Defence), and Quantum Skills. By focusing on these areas, the European
quantum ecosystem can ensure all grounds are covered to establish a
fully integrated and connected network and become leaders in the field
of quantum.

The Quantum Europe Strategy emphasises the importance of consolidation
of information about quantum science and industrial transformation. In
this, open data can play a role in data sharing and enabling
collaborative research. Portals such as data.europa.eu
[https://data.europa.eu/en] can help in compiling useful information,
such as datasets about quantum
[https://data.europa.eu/data/datasets?query=quantum&locale=en] to
further enhance relevant knowledge and help realise the strategy by
2030.

Whether you are a researcher, policymaker, or entrepreneur, now is a
great time to understand quantum and how this strategy can help you.

Europe’s quantum journey.
