The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) has unveiled four new funding calls totalling €19m to accelerate the development of quantum technologies across Europe. The initiatives target key areas including quantum navigation, photonic quantum computing, standardisation, and quantum machine learning, with funding provided through the Horizon Europe programme. The new calls are designed to strengthen Europe’s technological sovereignty and global competitiveness in quantum technologies. By supporting research, industrial collaboration, and commercialisation pathways, EuroHPC aims to bridge the gap between laboratory innovation and real-world deployment. The expected result is a stronger European quantum ecosystem capable of delivering next-generation computing, resilient navigation systems, internationally recognised standards, and advanced artificial intelligence applications powered by quantum technologies. Europe targets strategic growth in quantum technologies Quantum technologies have become a strategic priority for Europe as governments and industry seek to secure leadership in emerging digital infrastructure. The latest EuroHPC funding package focuses on technologies that could have far-reaching implications for security, defence, scientific research, communications, and industrial innovation. The four calls address some of the most significant technical and commercial barriers …
