The future of European quantum ecosystem is at a turning point. Transitioning from top-notch research to global industrial leadership needs a clear, actionable strategy. 

The European Quantum Industry Consortium (QuIC) has released today a document that represents the united voice of over 200 members: https://lnkd.in/dwXY4mBG. It serves as a practical roadmap aimed at making Europe’s quantum ambitions a reality. That's why we at QUBIZ.team were excited to contribute to and design this visual summary for the new European Quantum Industry Consortium (QuIC) Position Paper on the EU Quantum Strategy.

As a deep tech focused on quantum sensing and metrology, QUBIZ.team is especially encouraged by the sharp, detailed recommendations for our field. The paper calls for bold, specific actions to speed up the use of sensing technologies that can address real-world challenges today.

Key policy recommendations for Quantum Sensing include:
* Launching a dedicated European Quantum Sensing Flagship to fast-track sovereign, full-stack platforms, focusing on market-ready, room-temperature technologies.
* Establishing at least two European quantum sensing foundries and testbeds. This would provide shared access to fabrication and validation, a crucial step for startups and SMEs to grow effectively.
* Creating cross-sector "Industrial Upgrade" pilot programs. These initiatives would connect quantum innovators with leaders in automotive, aerospace, energy, and pharmaceuticals to tackle high-value challenges and show quick returns on investment.
* Mandating "system-ready" performance in all major EU-funded projects to ensure that new technologies are modular, portable, and robust enough for industrial settings.

Beyond sensing, the paper outlines a thorough strategy that covers everything from quantum computing and software to skills development. It proposes a €2 billion per year Quantum Sovereignty Growth Fund to lower investment risks.

Ultimately, this is about building the entire ecosystem—turning scientific excellence into industrial strength and ensuring Europe's technological independence.

We think this position paper is essential reading for anyone involved in European tech, policy, and investment. ℹ️ Read the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/duxwza_i

Happened to be here on the ground at GaliciaConecta in Santiago de Compostela! The mood was electric as we discuss the future of quantum technologies.

It's wonderful to be here, speaking on behalf of QUBIZ.team and the future wonder of quantum sensing. The case for the convergence of quantum and AI, and the requirement for Quantum Safe technology, is affirming something that we always knew. The quantum revolution is not imminent; it is already upon us.

Excited to hear the roundtable discussion on how these technologies will revolutionize our society. It's an important time for the quantum ecosystem in Galicia, and wonderful to see the dedication from both public and private sectors to make Santiago a quantum innovation hub: Xunta de Galicia, Telefónica, CESGA, QUBIZ.team, IQM Quantum Computers, Telefónica Tech (EN), Axencia Galega de Innovación, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, QCentroid, Clúster TIC Galicia.

A truly successful quantum future is built on two pillars: a clear policy framework and ground-breaking technology. At #GovTech4All summit BAT B Accelerator Tower in Bilbao, we saw both in powerful alignment.

The morning kicked off with a vital perspective on quantum policies and governance from Enrique Sánchez Bautista, the Head of the Brussels Office at Quantum Flagship. It was a crucial reminder that strong European leadership is essential to steer this revolution responsibly.

This high-level strategy was perfectly complemented by deep dives into technology. 

While the discussions on quantum computing and post-quantum cryptography were vital, the 11:20 session on Quantum Sensing & Metrology was a powerful reminder of how this revolution will touch the physical world.

Sara Ibañez (QUBIZ.team), Jorge Casanova (QUBIZ.team & EHUQuantumCenter), Jose Rigol (Quanvia), and Xavier Vidal (TECNALIA Quantum Technologies) have discussed about next-generation capabilities for public health, environmental monitoring, and resilient infrastructure—all powered by ultra-precise measurement. It's a quiet game-changer for government services.

It's brilliant to see Bizkaiko Foru Aldundia / Diputación Foral de Bizkaia 's BIQAIN strategy setting the stage for these exact innovations. Now, after a networking lunch (with pintxos, of course!), we're ready to see what the the next sessions bring.

Kudos to Lantik S.A.

A tipping point for European deep tech. The new EU Quantum Strategy is not merely another policy document—it's a conscious and compelling roadmap to turn Europe's excellence in anchor research into global technological leadership. 

The Strategy targets five areas: research and innovation, quantum infrastructures, ecosystem strengthening, space and dual-use technologies, and quantum skills. 

To the quantum sensing and metrology community, including QUBIZ.team, there are a couple of very relevant observations in the plan. Although the front pages will be computing-oriented, the emphasis on the application plan to build up activities in major public and industrial domains is where sensing will be at the heart of the quantum revolution.

In addition, the plan properly recognizes that technology is only as good as the talent that drives it. The creation of Quantum Competence Clusters and an European Quantum Skills Academy is a significant investment in human capital that will drive this long-term vision.

At QUBIZ.team, we both accept this strategy as appreciation for our efforts and as a challenge. The bottom-up framework has been set out. It is now up to the innovators, to the researchers, and to the deep-tech companies to construct from the ground up. We are ready to do our share and cooperate in translating these lofty ambitions into concrete, high-precision benefits to science and industry in Europe.

The recent feedback from the European Quantum Industry Consortium (QuIC) on the EU Quantum Strategy is a truly comprehensive vision for Europe's leadership in this critical field.

At QUBIZ.team, as a quantum sensing deep tech, we are incredibly proud to have contributed our insights to this vital document. Being part of such a collaborative effort, shaping the future of quantum technology in Europe, is not just an opportunity – it's a privilege.

The QuIC feedback underscores the urgent need for strategic action, encompassing everything from fostering talent and investing in intellectual property to building resilient supply chains and promoting public-private collaboration. These are precisely the areas where our work in quantum sensing can make a tangible difference, contributing to a more secure, sustainable, and technologically advanced Europe.

It's inspiring to see our collective voice amplified through QuIC, pushing for a robust quantum future. This isn't just about technological advancement; it's about cementing Europe's position at the forefront of the next industrial revolution.

We're energized by this momentum and committed to continuing our work in quantum sensing and metrology, turning groundbreaking research into real-world impact. Let's build this quantum future together!
