Introducing the Strategic Industry Roadmap 2025
The European Quantum Industry Consortium (QuIC) is proud to present the Strategic Industry Roadmap 2025. This cornerstone document is designed to guide the development of Europe’s quantum ecosystem through to 2035. As global competition accelerates, the roadmap provides a clear and coordinated vision for Europe’s role in the quantum era. It aligns strategic priorities, identifies key challenges, and lays out a path toward building a strong and sovereign quantum industry.

A Collective Effort to Shape the Future
Importantly, this roadmap is the result of deep collaboration. QuIC’s diverse membership—including startups, large enterprises, research institutions, and public partners – have come together to contribute their knowledge and insights. Consequently, the document reflects a balanced, inclusive, and forward-looking vision for the entire European quantum ecosystem.
Not only does it describe the current landscape, but it also sets bold and realistic goals for the years ahead. While quantum technologies are evolving rapidly, this roadmap shows exactly why Europe must act now. With shared objectives and strategic coordination, Europe can transform its scientific excellence into industrial leadership.

Key Technology Tracks for Quantum Innovation
The roadmap focuses on the three foundational pillars of quantum technology: quantum computing & simulation, quantum communication, and quantum sensing. In addition, it highlights the importance of enabling technologies such as cryogenics, lasers, and control systems. These are critical for scaling reliable, European-made quantum platforms.
Each section outlines technical milestones, projected timelines, and development priorities. Therefore, the roadmap is not only strategic but also highly actionable for companies, research teams, and policymakers. Moreover, it explores how quantum will integrate with existing infrastructures like high-performance computing (HPC) and cloud technologies.
Supporting the Broader Ecosystem
However, technological progress alone will not be enough. To lead globally, Europe must also build a strong, well-rounded innovation ecosystem. For this reason, the roadmap explores five essential enablers:
-
Talent development through training and education
-
Standards and benchmarking to build global trust
-
Clear intellectual property strategies for European businesses
-
Public–private governance models for collective progress
-
Long-term funding instruments tailored to deep-tech
Together, these ecosystem pillars are essential to converting research breakthroughs into real economic impact.
Europe’s Window of Opportunity
Today, other regions are moving fast. Therefore, Europe must avoid fragmented efforts and focus on bold, united action. The Roadmap 2025 provides exactly that – strategic direction, shared vision, and actionable next steps.
It calls on policymakers, investors, industry leaders, and researchers to align around a single goal: to make Europe a global leader in quantum innovation.
