The European Commission has unveiled a bold strategy: to make Europe a global leader in quantum technology by 2030. This vision builds on Europe’s scientific excellence while setting the stage for economic competitiveness and technological sovereignty.

The plan focuses on:

• Expanding research and innovation through dedicated funding.
• Building infrastructure such as quantum computers and communication networks.
• Supporting industry adoption, ensuring Europe doesn’t just invent quantum technologies but also deploys them at scale.
• Enhancing security by preparing for the risks and opportunities of quantum cryptography.

For Belgium, this strategy is a call to action. As a hub for research, policy, and industry, we are perfectly positioned to contribute to Europe’s collective strength. Our role in the Quantum Circle ecosystem ensures that Belgian stakeholders have a seat at the European table.

By 2030, quantum will no longer be confined to labs. It will be embedded in industries from health to transport, from finance to energy. Europe’s plan ensures that we shape this future, not just adapt to it.
