Demand map: who buys or trials quantum
Who buys or trials quantum technology in Europe, from public evidence only: procurement notices, organisations other than universities and research centres in EU-funded quantum projects, published use cases and the users of infrastructure access calls. Each count is a number of evidence records and links to them. This page makes no forecast and no estimate of a market.
Demonstration feature, approved by the portal owner on 28 October 2026 to show functionality. It is not reviewed or endorsed by IE Legal or the European Commission.
4 evidence records in this view: 0 public tender notices, 0 organisations in EU-funded projects, 4 use case records. Users of infrastructure access calls: not published by any programme yet.

Users of infrastructure access calls
Not yet known from our sources: no access programme publishes the organisations it serves, so none is counted, never as zero.
- EuroHPC JU quantum access in pilot mode (EuroHPC Joint Undertaking): Neither the call page nor the quantum access calls page lists awarded projects or user organisations; the EuroHPC awarded-projects page lists classical supercomputer access modes only.
- FiQCI calls for academic projects (Finnish Quantum-Computing Infrastructure (FiQCI)): The call says results are communicated to applicants after the decision; it does not say that accepted projects are published.
- Spanish Supercomputing Network (RES) quantum access (Red Española de Supercomputación (RES)): The RES resolutions page lists HPC and data resolutions only; no quantum resolution is listed.
- CINECA Quantum Computing as a Service (CINECA): The page gives allocation quotas but no consumption figures, user projects or user organisations.
- JUNIQ access, service and support (Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC)): The page publishes no user projects, user organisations or usage figures.
- Quantum Inspire registration (QuTech): The About page publishes no user counts, jobs, countries or user projects; it names QuTech as initiator and SURF as a partner, not as users.
- LRZ quantum computing consulting (Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ)): The page publishes no usage figures, user projects or user organisations.
- GENCI eDARI resource allocation requests (GENCI): The part of the home page read publishes no quantum projects, user organisations or usage figures; the page was not read in full.
- Qu-Test open call for testing services (Qu-Test project): The page names no selected companies and gives no numbers of applications or selected projects.

Sources and method
- Public tenders: procurement notices from TED (Publications Office of the European Union) and national portals published on this portal, by buyer country; the date is when the notice was added here. Defence procurement is never published here.
- EU projects: CORDIS (European Commission), snapshot retrieved 2026-10-16, reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU. Companies, public bodies and other organisations; universities and research centres are not counted.
- Left out of the EU project counts: 49 known quantum suppliers; 11 funders, agencies or consultancies.
- Use cases: Curated use cases, compiled 2026-10-21. Owner-reviewed for demonstration, 28 October 2026. A use case counts once per country of a linked end user (a company, public body or other organisation of its EU project that is not a known supplier); otherwise its country is not recorded.
