The Strategy will foster a resilient, sovereign quantum ecosystem that fuels startup growth and transforms breakthrough science into market-ready applications, while maintaining Europe’s scientific leadership.

Quantum technologies will revolutionise addressing complex challenges, from pharmaceutical breakthroughs to securing critical infrastructure. They will open new opportunities for the EU’s industrial competitiveness and tech sovereignty, with strong dual-use potential for defence and security. By 2040, the sector is expected to create thousands of highly skilled jobs across the EU and exceed a global value of €155 billion.

The Strategy targets five areas: research and innovation, quantum infrastructures, ecosystem strengthening, space and dual-use technologies, and quantum skills.
