European Defense Fund: EDF - Quantum Technology in Defense

Funding Opportunities for Quantum Projects in the Field of Security and Defense: New Prospects Through the European Defense Fund

Application-oriented high technology does not always have to have a conventional civilian focus. When combined with “security and defense” and EU-level funding, this opens up sustainable opportunities for collaboration with companies from other industries. In this event, we aim to broaden perspectives on new applications of quantum technologies and present a wide range of funding opportunities.

Mission:

Through its collaboration on topics in the field of security and defense, the European Defense Fund (EDF) offers an excellent opportunity to engage with

• quantum computing
• quantum sensing, or
• quantum communication

.

Target Audience

• Traditional Industry: CEOs, CTOs, CIOs, specialized departments, data scientists
• Quantum computing software and hardware providers
• Quantum Sensing: Manufacturers and Application Specialists
• Quantum communication: quantum cryptography (QKD), post-quantum cryptography (PQC)
• Companies and research institutions already active in quantum-related fields and seeking to tap into new funding opportunities
• Industry-affiliated researchers in the field of quantum computing
