As the collective voice of the European quantum industry, the European Quantum Industry Consortium (QuIC) welcomes this initiative and has prepared a comprehensive Position Paper in response.
About this Paper
This document represents the consolidated input of about 60 QuIC members and affiliates, gathered through an intensive consultation process. It provides:
- A critical review of the Quantum Europe Strategy
- Concrete policy recommendations across all key areas
- Identification of implementation gaps and emerging themes
- International perspectives from QuIC’s global membership
Topics covered include quantum research and innovation, infrastructure, software and algorithms, dual-use and space applications, skills development, and sustainable growth.
Why it matters
The Position Paper is intended as a constructive contribution to EU policymaking and the upcoming European Quantum Act. It offers a strategic, industry-informed roadmap to help translate scientific excellence into industrial capacity, market leadership, and European technological sovereignty.
