Når det gjelder kvanteforskning og -innovasjon, skal Norge ikke bare være med – vi skal ligge blant de beste. Det er målet med den nasjonale kvantestrategien, og siden den ble lansert i 2023, har Norge intensivert innsatsen innen forskning, kommersialisering og internasjonalt samarbeid for å utvikle og opprettholde sin posisjon innen kvanteteknologi. Et enda tettere nordisk samarbeid om kvanteteknologi er et viktig konkurransefortrinn og styrker Nordens teknologiske suverenitet.
