Quantum Strategy for Europe – Momentum for National Projects Like QSolid
On 2 July 2025, the European Commission presented its new Quantum Europe Strategy, setting the course for Europe to become a global leader in quantum technologies by 2030. In addition, the Commission announced its intention to introduce a Quantum Act in 2026, which will provide a legal framework to strengthen Europe's quantum ecosystem and facilitate industrial scale-up.
European framework, national contributions
QSolid, funded by Germany's Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR), is a national initiative — but firmly embedded in the broader European research landscape. While our project is not EU-funded, its results directly contribute to Europe's technological sovereignty in the quantum domain. At the same time, European initiatives such as the Quantum Strategy and the forthcoming Quantum Act provide structural and legal benefits also for national projects within the EU through harmonised standards and market conditions.
Strategic alignment on sovereignty and infrastructure
Europe’s focus on a robust quantum infrastructure, talent development and industrial readiness complements BMFTR-funded initiatives like QSolid. Together, they reinforce Europe’s technological independence. The Quantum Strategy’s support mechanisms and the future Quantum Act will underpin the further scaling and integration of national efforts, enhancing both QSolid’s impact and Germany’s standing in the global quantum landscape.
