European Union: European Commission closes consultation on quantum strategy of the EU

On 3 June 2025, the European Commission closes the consultation on the drafting of the communication on a quantum strategy of the European Union. The strategy aims to strengthen the EU’s quantum value chain, improve coordination between national and EU efforts, and support technological and economic resilience. It will establish priority areas for the application of quantum technologies and promote greater awareness across sectors. Acknowledging quantum’s dual-use potential, the strategy aims to explore collaboration opportunities with security and defence partners and encourage synergies between defence, space, and related civil industries to accelerate commercial deployment. Expected actions, which may lead to a Quantum Act by end-2025, include increasing Member State cooperation, developing infrastructure, supporting start-ups, advancing skills, and promoting international partnerships.
