In the world of money-swallowing tech, AI has been the golden goose that most countries around the world have been pumping cash into. Thanks to the likes of Nvidia, Microsoft, OpenAI, and many others, America is the undisputed leader in this sector, and with China following closely behind. Perhaps feeling that it has somewhat missed the boat, Europe has decided that it too wants to be a tech leader and has set its sights on besting everyone in quantum computing by 2030.
To achieve this lofty goal, the European Commission has commenced its snappily-titled Quantum Europe Strategy that focuses on five areas: research and development; quantum infrastructures; a stronger quantum ecosystem; space and dual-use quantum technologies; and quantum skills. If you want a more visual breakdown as to what any of that actually means, the EC has created a PDF factsheet you can download.
