Germany and France present a joint definition of digital sovereignty with quantum technology as key capability for securing Europe’s long-term technological resilience and competitiveness. Announced at VivaTech, this new bilateral framework highlights both political ambition and operational criteria across the entire technology stack from cloud infrastructure and data protection to sovereign AI and quantum technologies. Wildberger: “Strengthening digital sovereignty is the order of the day” True digital sovereignty isn’t just about securing today’s […]
QBN WG IPB Navigates the New Geopolitics of Quantum: $2B US Stakes and the European Tech Sovereignty Package
If anyone still thinks quantum technology is confined to academic labs, recent policy shifts should put that idea to rest for good. We are witnessing a fundamental shift in how global superpowers view the deep-tech supply chain. It is no longer just about research grants; it is about state-backed industrialisation, hardware sovereign control, and massive strategic capital. Last week, the QBN […]
Why Quantum Organizations Must Stop Playing Defence: Navigating the New Era of Geopolitics and Industrial Policy
The global race to scale quantum technology is defined by industrial policy frameworks. For years, commercialisation timelines were driven by breakthroughs in the laboratory and the availability of venture capital. Today, it’s geopolitics. As national governments increasingly recognise quantum computing, quantum sensing, and quantum communications as critical pillars of national security and economic growth, the rules of market adoption are being rewritten. The race to scale is […]
Global Sovereignty and Market Access: Successful Launch of QBN Working Group on International Policy & Business
The quantum economy has reached a critical pivot point. As technical milestones convert into market readiness and geopolitical competition intensifies, passive positioning is no longer viable. For organisations operating in this deep-tech landscape, navigating cross-border trade, securing sovereign supply chains, and building international value chains are now primary business requirements. To address these shifting dynamics, the QBN Working Group […]

6 years. One Vison. One Ecosystem. Countless Successes. QBN Celebrates Six Years of Building the Global Quantum Industry
Munich, Germany – 26 May 2026 – Six years ago, the quantum landscape was entirely different. Public funding was confined exclusively to academic research, private venture capital was practically non-existent, and the very viability of the technology remained a subject of debate. It was in this environment of pure potential that QBN, the Quantum Business Network, was established as Europe’s very first […]
