As quantum technologies move from research to real-world applications, Europe faces a critical moment: how to scale its ecosystem while remaining competitive globally.
QuIC’s whitepaper, “QuIC Inputs on European Quantum Market Consolidation”, provides a structured analysis of the challenges and opportunities shaping this transition.
The paper explores key issues including market fragmentation, limited access to scale-up funding, and the gap between research excellence and industrial growth.
It highlights the increasing importance of consolidation as a strategic tool to build stronger, more competitive companies that can operate at global scale.
In addition, the whitepaper examines how Europe can better align policy, investment, and industry to support sustainable growth.
It outlines practical considerations for consolidation, ensuring that innovation is preserved while enabling companies to scale, attract capital, and compete internationally.
This work reflects a strong collaborative effort across the European quantum ecosystem, bringing together perspectives from industry, research, and investment.
