The European Commission has released its Quantum Europe Strategy, aiming to make Europe a global quantum leader by 2030. Building on strengths in research and innovation, the Strategy targets five pillars: consolidating quantum science, deploying scalable infrastructures, growing the startup ecosystem, integrating security-critical and space applications, and developing a specialised quantum workforce.  

Both European Standards Organisations, who are also key members of the InDiCo Global consortium, have already signalled their support. CEN and CENELEC reaffirmed their commitment via JTC 22 to draft interoperability standards across quantum communication, computing, sensing and enabling technologies.  

Meanwhile, ETSI highlighted its leadership on Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and quantum-safe cryptography, already underpinned by over 30 published standards and active global working groups.  

Why It Matters for Indico Global 

 Indico Global’s mission to foster mutual understanding, capacity building and policy alignment for EU ICT standards naturally extends to quantum technologies. As Europe unifies its research roadmaps and scales infrastructures, our consortium is well-positioned to convene technical communities and policymakers, develop harmonised standards in emerging domains, and support capacity-building initiatives that translate Europe’s quantum leadership into real-world applications.
