📋 Tender Overview
The Spanish government has presented its strategy for quantum technologies. It is planned to promote basic research to industrial applications and the preparation of the company for the introduction of this technology. Overall, the Spanish government will provide more than EUR 800 million for the implementation. The first Spanish quantum strategy Estrategia de Tecnologias Cuanticas de Espana 2025-2030 was on April 24th as part of the OECD Global Forum on Technology Entangled Future: Collaborative Pathways Towards responsible Quantum Technologies in Madrid introduced. It is based on European goals in the three key areas of computing, communication and sensors and is intended to position Spain as a competitive location for quantum research, infrastructure and applications.
The strategy includes four strategic goals: strengthening research, development and innovation, including knowledge transfer, to bring research results to market maturity; Promotion of growth and the establishment of quantum companies, for example through easier access to capital markets; Preparation of society for a disruptive change as a result of the introduction of quantum technologies; Strengthening the Spanish quantum ecosystem. The Spanish government provides a total of 808 million euros, with the aim of mobilizing another 700 million euros in private funds. Around 10 million of them flow into the establishment of a hub for quantum communication. The aim is to bring the central public actors together to build a network for research, development and implementation of these technologies.
In addition to quantum communication, other areas of application such as cyber security, defense, artificial intelligence, material sciences, medication development and power supply are addressed by the strategy. Another important aspect are various initiatives for promoting talent.
