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
7 goals of the draft SRIA 2026 concern these technologies; the first 6 are listed.
- Milestone by 2030: 100 logical qubits with logical error rates around 10^-6 by 2030, matching the Commission objective of about 100 logical qubits by 2030.
- Goal by 2035: 1000 logical qubits with logical error rates around 10^-6 by 2035; the draft calls this the lower edge of broad utility rather than an end point.
- Goal in 2035: Superconducting: run fully error-corrected algorithms on hundreds of qubits without unwieldy overhead, by making the best qubits first and then scaling; analogue and annealing processors show certified utility within HPC workflows.
- 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: An EU-designed quantum control chipset at TRL 5.
- Goal by 2035: Europe is a leading location for industrialising quantum chips and hardware building blocks, moving from fragmented research fabrication to repeatable, accessible and trusted manufacturing.
