This programme aligns with key European initiatives in this area, from both the Quantum Flagship and the European Quantum Communications Infrastructure (EuroQCI), by creating state-of-the-art infrastructures and acting as a driver for the European quantum industry. In particular, the parties express their willingness to identify, as appropriate, as areas of future collaboration for the development of the program, the following lines of action (LA):
- LA-1: EuroQCI - towards a European quantum communication infrastructure.
- LA-2: Hardware for quantum communications.
- LA-3: Software for quantum communications.
- LA-4: Hardware for quantum processing.
- LA-5: Software for quantum processing.
- LA-6: Human resources and training for innovation and entrepreneurship.
- LA-7: Ecosystem of innovation and industry, dissemination and exploitation of results.
The program was initially launched with the Autonomous Communities of the Basque Country, Catalonia, Galicia, Madrid and Castilla y León, with the participation of the CSIC, through the signing of a framework agreement with the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities.
Subsequently, following the Agreement of the Scientific, Technological and Innovation Policy Council of 22 June 2022, the Valencian Community has been incorporated.
