NIS2, DORA, and the EU Post-Quantum Roadmap

If you are a CISO under NIS2 or DORA, you are already expected to run a risk-management system that tracks material, evolving threats - and to implement “state‑of‑the‑art” controls appropriate to the risk. The EU’s PQC roadmap is effectively saying: quantum is now one of those evolving threats you must govern.  The most important conceptual shift for leadership teams is this: ...

How the EU Can Capture the Benefits of Quantum Computing

The European Union has entered the global quantum race with determination - aiming not just to excel in research, but to translate breakthroughs into economic and strategic benefits. In July 2025, the European Commission unveiled the Quantum Europe Strategy, a roadmap to make Europe a “quantum industrial powerhouse” by 2030. This strategy acknowledges Europe’s historic strength in quantum science - ...

Deep-Tech Commercialization Challenges in the EU

Europe is a global powerhouse in deep-tech research - from quantum breakthroughs to biotech - yet it struggles to turn this scientific excellence into market success. In fact, Europe’s deep-tech sector holds immense potential (estimated at €8 trillion) but lags behind the US in funding and commercialization, with only a fraction of innovations translating into market-ready products. European startups produce impressive ...
