The Urgent Need for Action
Quantum technologies are poised to revolutionize industries, impacting finance, healthcare, mobility, and national security. However, without the right policies, investments, and regulatory frameworks, Europe risks falling behind in the global race. This Position Paper presents strategic recommendations to strengthen Europe’s quantum industry, enhance supply chain resilience, promote strategic autonomy, and create an investment-friendly environment that supports both startups and established companies. By acting now, the EU can position itself as a global quantum powerhouse.
Investing in Talent and Intellectual Property
One of the key challenges Europe faces is the need for a skilled quantum workforce. Talent development, education, and research must align with industry needs to ensure that Europe remains competitive in this rapidly evolving field. Additionally, intellectual property (IP) and commercialization play a crucial role in transforming scientific breakthroughs into market-ready solutions. The Position Paper also highlights the importance of quantum standards and benchmarks, reinforcing Europe’s influence in shaping global quantum policies and technologies.
