Objective
QOMPASS aims at supporting the Quantum Flagship and providing the strategic backbone for implementing the Quantum Europe Strategy and preparing the governance and ecosystem required for the Quantum Act (2026). The project addresses the Work Programme’s objectives of strengthening Europe’s technological sovereignty, accelerating industrial uptake, and ensuring global leadership in quantum technologies.
QOMPASS will achieve this through four integrated objectives:
Strategic Intelligence & Roadmapping – Establish a European Quantum Observatory to deliver data-driven intelligence on investments, workforce, and supply chains, benchmark Europe’s position, and update the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) with roadmaps aligned to the Quantum Europe Strategy.
Visibility & Global Positioning – Build a strong European quantum brand, enhance outreach through high-impact communication, and position Europe as a trusted leader via flagship events (e.g. EQTC) and tier-1 media engagement.
Ecosystem & Industrial Uptake – Accelerate lab-to-market transition by linking the Quantum Flagship with EuroHPC, Chips JU, DEP, and EIC; foster investment through European Quantum Scale-up Summits; and lead standardisation efforts to secure Europe’s influence on global norms.
Governance & Policy – Support the EU’s new governance model under the Quantum Act, align national and EU strategies, enable joint funding initiatives, and prepare the governance blueprint for the next Multiannual Financial Framework (2028–2034).
A Rapid Response Service ensures agility in addressing emerging EC requests. Building on the assets of previous CSAs (QFlag, QUCATS), QOMPASS unites Europe’s largest quantum industry association (QuIC), national agencies, and leading RTOs, creating a unique alliance to deliver at scale. QOMPASS will provide the strategic, operational, and governance support needed for Europe to achieve technological sovereignty and global leadership in quantum technologies.
