About European Quantum Industry Consortium (QuIC)

On February 4th, 2021 the legal representatives of fourteen European industries active in the Quantum Technology area met via videoconference to found the non-for-profit association “European Quantum Industry Consortium” (QuIC) under German law (“eingetragener Verein e.V.”), which will be headquartered in Jülich (DE). These founding members represent a good balance between large and small industries, the QT pillars, and the different European regions. A QuIC history Working towards the foundation of QuIC started early 2020 when the Quantum Community Network (one of the three governing bodies of the Quantum Flagship initiative) expressed the need of a "privately owned body with the mission to advocate, promote, and foster the common interests of the European Quantum Industry towards all Quantum Technologies stakeholders". A task force comprising the QCN and industry, launched the initiative on June 24th, 2020, with the first “Towards a European Quantum Industry Consortium” teleconference. The event was a success, seeing the participation of 273 industry and RTO representatives, from 24 different European countries. The QuIC objectives are as follows: ✓ Identify gaps in the Quantum Technology sector in terms of supply chain, enabling components and/or technologies, performance, intellectual property, standards, workforce. ✓ Identify applications and use cases in different areas. ✓ Facilitate the coordination between Quantum Technology industries. ✓ Advocate the Quantum Technology industry needs towards public stakeholders. ✓ Nurture a fair and sustainable Quantum Technology business environment in Europe and ensure its global competitiveness.
