In April 2016, the Commission adopted the European Cloud Initiative, announcing its plan to launch a Quantum Technology (QT) Flagship initiative worth one billion Euros of joint public/private investment over the next 10 years. This has also been announced during the Dutch Presidency event "Quantum Europe: a New Era of Technology" in May 2016.
The objective of the QT Flagship initiative is to reinforce European scientific leadership and excellence in quantum research, and to turn results into concrete technological opportunities that can be taken up by industry. The Flagship is still in its preparatory phase, driven by a high level experts group appointed by the Commission, chaired by Professor Mlynek and gathering 24 distinguished members (half from academia, half from industry) from all over Europe.
