Ahead of EU Quantum Act, IQM Calls for Dedicated Qubit Foundries and DARPA-Style Procurement

A new report by IQM Quantum Computers, "Quantum Is Europe's Second Chance," calls for the EU to implement a Quantum Act to compete with other global powers in quantum computing. The report highlights Europe's strengths in public investment and QPU deployments but points out weaknesses in venture capital, chip manufacturing, and regulatory speed. It proposes dedicated qubit foundries, increased late-stage growth capital, and DARPA-style procurement to foster a robust European quantum ecosystem.
