Six-page JRC policy brief mapping the global quantum industry, based on company, venture capital and patent data. It reports that the EU hosts about a third of the more than 440 quantum companies identified, though these firms are generally smaller and younger than US or Chinese ones, and that China leads quantum patenting. The brief closes with recommendations on coordinating national and EU funding, scaling up firms, and investing in talent and infrastructure.
