As the new year begins, France enters 2026 with renewed momentum across quantum policy, industry and research, positioning itself as one of the central pillars of Europe’s deep-tech strategy. Recent developments offer just a glimpse at this coordinated push to move quantum technologies from laboratory demonstrations toward scalable, industrial deployment.
On the policy front, French and European stakeholders are actively shaping the proposed European Quantum Act. A high-level roundtable hosted by Alice & Bob and the European Quantum Industry Consortium underscored the need for clearer pathways from research to market, improved access to capital, and regulatory frameworks tailored to scale-ups. This policy ambition was echoed on the global stage at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where France arrived with one of its largest technology delegations to date, signaling Paris’ intent to lead Europe’s AI and quantum competitiveness amid rising geopolitical tensions.
