QuIC’s Response to the Call for Evidence on the EU Quantum Act

The European Quantum Industry Consortium (QuIC) has published its response to the European Commission’s Call for Evidence on the EU Quantum Act, a legislative initiative intended to strengthen Europe’s capacity in quantum technologies. The whitepaper provides a consolidated view of the needs and priorities of Europe’s quantum ecosystem and presents clear policy recommendations for building a competitive and resilient quantum sector.

Download the full whitepaper.

• Governance and Strategic Direction: QuIC recommends establishing a Euro Quantum Joint Undertaking with coordinated governance and streamlined administration to align European and national efforts.

 

• Industrial Capacity and Investment: the whitepaper calls for deep-tech-appropriate financing, long-term public investment, and performance-based procurement to accelerate the growth of European quantum companies.

 

• Supply Chain Resilience: QuIC highlights the need for a harmonised framework for monitoring and strengthening quantum supply chains, supported by EU-level standards and targeted investment.

 

• Skills and Talent: the paper proposes comprehensive talent development measures, including education pathways, mobility schemes, and an EU Quantum Talent Visa to maintain Europe’s competitiveness.

 

• International Collaboration: QuIC encourages open and reciprocal cooperation with global partners while safeguarding Europe’s strategic technologies and promoting interoperability.

 

This whitepaper reflects contributions from a wide range of stakeholders across the European quantum community and provides actionable guidance for shaping the EU Quantum Act as an effective foundation for Europe’s long-term quantum leadership.
