Europe Unveils Quantum Strategy and Announces Quantum Act

On 2 July 2025, the European Commission presented its Quantum Europe Strategy, setting out a clear roadmap to make Europe a global leader in quantum technologies by 2030. As part of this ambition, the Commission also announced plans for a Quantum Act, a legal framework to support investment, industrial development and international cooperation in the quantum sector.

Five pillars for Europe's quantum future

The strategy focuses on five key areas: expanding research and innovation, building quantum infrastructure such as chip pilot lines and a secure quantum internet, strengthening the quantum ecosystem with better support for start-ups, integrating quantum into space, security and defence, and boosting education through a European Quantum Skills Academy launching in 2026.

Over €11 billion in public funding has already been invested in European quantum research, but the EU aims to significantly increase private investment and ensure technologies translate into jobs and growth. With the global quantum market expected to reach €155 billion by 2040, Europe is determined to strengthen its technological sovereignty.

Implications for OpenSuperQPlus

The new strategy and the upcoming Quantum Act offer excellent opportunities for initiatives like OpenSuperQPlus. Greater investment in infrastructure and legal clarity will help accelerate our efforts to develop scalable quantum computing. As part of Europe's growing quantum ecosystem, OpenSuperQPlus is ready to contribute to — and benefit from — this momentum.
