About this report
This report examines Europe’s quantum, photonics and advanced sensing ecosystem as an emerging industrial and strategic domain rather than as a single technology market.
It focuses on the companies, research organisations, public infrastructures and institutional programmes that are shaping pre-commercial capabilities in quantum computing, quantum communications, post-quantum cryptography, photonic chips, optical systems, advanced sensing, metrology and resilient navigation.
