Related goals of the draft SRIA 2026
6 goals of the draft SRIA 2026 concern these technologies; the first 6 are listed.
- Milestone 2030 KPI: EU-based pilot lines cut foreign component dependency to below 20%, from about 60% of key enabling components sourced outside the EU in 2026.
- 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 3 EU cryogenic testing providers with an aggregate of at least 100 chips a month, indicative photonic yield of at least 50%, and space and defence qualification protocols demonstrated.
- Goal 2035 KPI: At least 3 EU foundries offering QT-grade fabrication as a commercial service, indicative device yield of at least 70% and photonic process yield of at least 80%.
- 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.
- Goal by 2035: Become a global reference for secure and trustworthy quantum technologies, supporting broad adoption of quantum-safe cryptography by 2035 with harmonised certification.
