Organisation profile
One view of what the portal stores about this organisation, from open sources. Each block appears only when there is data and names its source and date; the registries and sources stay authoritative.
Company dossier: every public fact with its source, to print, save as PDF or download for Word
Identity
"Registered" is what the organisation reported to the Global LEI System; "stated" is what an open registry names. The two can differ.

Related goals of the draft SRIA 2026
4 goals of the draft SRIA 2026 concern these technologies; the first 4 are listed.
- Goal strategic objective for 2035: Open strategic autonomy: future quantum systems cannot be built, deployed and integrated at scale without substantial European enabling technologies, infrastructures and suppliers.
- Milestone 2027 review milestone: A dependency map across computing, communication and sensing validated by at least ten European system developers with SME representation; an operational monitoring function; documented KPI baselines and first benchmarks.
- Milestone 2030 review milestone: At least 30% European sourcing across priority categories, and two qualified sources for each critical component or a documented mitigation plan.
- Goal 2035 review milestone: At least 60% European sourcing, at least 3 evidenced European control points, no unmitigated critical single-source dependencies and 10% relative market-share growth.
