EMMANUEL MACRON PRESENTS THE FRENCH STRATEGY FOR QUANTUM TECHNOLOGIES
French President Emmanuel Macron visited Paris-Saclay University to present France’s quantum strategy.
This strategy is a major challenge for France, which has many assets: major laboratories of excellence, some of which have been awarded Nobel prizes, a large community of companies and industrialists, and the first fund dedicated to quantum technologies.
This move is in line with what has already been put in place over the last 3 years in favor of French research:
- The law of programming for research ;
- The future investment program ;
- The plan “France Relance” ;
- The plan on artificial intelligence.
The President of the Republic announced the the launch of the national quantum straytegy, which includes:
- The provision of new resources for researchers, including training, but also for start-ups and manufacturers;
- The development of quantum computing;
- Investments in all quantum technologies: communications, sensors, cryptography.
It is also a massive plan:
- A total of 1.8 billion euros, including 1 billion from the State, for the next 5 years;
- A plan that positions France at a very good level internationally.
This is an absolutely major effort, which testifies above all to the determination of the Government and the President of the Republic to make France a major player in these technologies at the European and international levels.
