EU quantum funding stands at over EUR 11 billion across European and national programmes. This covers research infrastructure, the EuroHPC quantum computers, and national quantum strategies.
The Quantum Act is the European Commission's forthcoming legislative framework to coordinate quantum technology investment and infrastructure across the EU. It is on track for Q2 2026.
There are six EuroHPC quantum computers, integrated with Europe's high-performance computing infrastructure to give researchers and industry access to quantum resources.
Eagle-1 is the EU's quantum key distribution satellite, designed to test and demonstrate secure quantum communications from space as part of Europe's quantum communication infrastructure.
The EU is home to 144 quantum companies, representing 32% of the global total. These companies attracted EUR 1.5 billion in venture capital in 2025.
The EU quantum monitor is published free by Beresol, a software company specialised in EU matters ("All the EU, with AI"), founded by Victor Solé Ferioli. It is one of Beresol's open EU policy intelligence monitors, with no paywall and no email gate.
Brubru by Beresol tracks EU legislation, amendments, tenders and policy live. Brubru is the AI-powered EU policy intelligence platform built by Beresol, available at https://brubru.beresol.eu.
