Project description
Securing the digital economy of the future
In an increasingly digital world, the internet serves as a lifeline for both individuals and businesses. However, it is no secret that our digital networks are facing a growing threat from malicious actors. With the advent of more powerful computers, the need for enhanced security has never been more urgent. In this context, the EU-funded levelQuantum project will design a 4th generation Quantum Key Distribution protocol to guarantee unprecedented security, impervious to all possible attacks. This innovation promises to bring long-distance, fibre- and satellite-based Quantum Key Distribution to the masses, safeguarding our networks against future quantum computing threats. The project focuses on conducting market research, and promoting diversity and gender inclusion in the STEM workplace.
Objective
The Internet is a ubiquitous technology—with many tasks in private and business lives now achieved online. Still, the networks remain vulnerable to malicious agents and the number of cybersecurity attacks is on the rise—a trend that will likely continue with the advent of more powerful computers.
At levelQuantum s.r.l. an early-age deep-tech innovative startup, we deliver an unprecedented level of security provided by our 4th generation Quantum Key Distribution protocol, which is physically and mathematically safe against all possible attacks. We can become one of the first companies to bring quantum cryptography systems suitable for long-distance, fiber- and satellite-based Quantum Key Distribution of absolute security to the broader market. Our solution can secure the networks today and, in the future, when quantum computers reach their long-promised, unprecedented power.
In this project, we aim to update our business plan, conduct market & customer research, and build a strategy for growth for a diverse and gender-inclusive STEM workplace in quantum technologies. Taken together, combining the development & results of this project with our superior technology will help our company to contribute to the EU’s digital economy.
