Led by Denmark, its inaugural chairing nation, the two-day conference brought together experts from industry, academia, funding bodies and government to work together, exchange, and create a trusted quantum platform for the Alliance.<\/div>\n<section class=\"content cf\">\n<div class=\"box box-media box-media--stretched\">NATO Assistant Secretary General for Innovation, Hybrid and Cyber, Jean-Charles Ellermann-Kingombe said: \u201cMaintaining a technological edge &#8211; not least on emerging and disruptive technologies &#8211; is a key priority for NATO and a prerequisite if we are to remain in charge of our own security. Quantum is one of the technologies where we cannot take our leadership for granted. Where ensuring a technological edge will require not only substantial investments &#8211; but also mobilization of resources and competencies among all stakeholders, public and private across our Alliance and among our partners. This is what we are trying to achieve with this gathering, which is a model for engaging on emerging and disruptive technologies, including with our partners. Today\u2019s conference set this work out on a promising and ambitious trajectory with a lot at stake.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>In 2023, NATO published its first-ever Quantum Technologies Strategy detailing its ambition to become \u201ca quantum-ready alliance\u201d and 22 Allies are currently part of NATO\u2019s quantum community. This week\u2019s conference sought to advance work including on topics such as scaling up of quantum technologies, partnership with industry and funding bodies, and understanding of dual-use cases of quantum technologies. \u00a0Since its establishment, multiple nations have committed resources to engage in this forum and lead work streams. Given the urgency to address opportunities and risks of quantum technologies, the rate of progress is of key importance to NATO, as is the evolving convergence of quantum with related domains such as AI and biotech. The Danish Chair also launched a new \u201cQuantum Industry Network\u201d to facilitate NATO\u2019s broader engagement with quantum industry and funding leaders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday (13 November 2024) the plenary meeting of NATO\u2019s Transatlantic Quantum Community finished in Copenhagen.
