KPI Eco 6: Supply chain and strategic autonomy

KPI observatory / Ecosystem

Strategically important quantum technology components once imported into the EU and now produced in the EU.

Official values: survey results of the Quantum Flagship Strategic Advisory Board, as published. Trajectory and live measure: calculations of this portal, not the assessment of the SAB.

Definition: Official KPI values and 2030 targets

Remarks and method

  • The 2021 value is zero by definition; later values count the progress made since 2021.

Method as stated: Open online KPI survey (booklet reference Ecosystem 6).

Trajectory (calculated by the portal)

components

On pace

On pace: recent pace 2021-2024: (48 - 0) / 3 = 16 a year; needed pace to 2030: (60 - 48) / 6 = 2 a year; compound growth: recent n/a, needed +3.8% a year. Portal calculation, not the SAB assessment.

At the recent linear pace the value would be about 144 in 2030.

The booklet rates each indicator on its own four-level scale (ahead of schedule, on schedule, needs progress, behind schedule); that assessment is not reproduced here.

Live measure of the portal

A proxy calculated by the portal from its own data; it is not the official value and measures something related, not the same thing.

Counted

  • Readout resonators and Purcell filters
  • Josephson parametric amplifiers
  • Quantum-dot single-photon sources
  • Waveguide material platforms
  • Silicon structures (Si/SiGe and Si-MOS)
  • Germanium hole devices
  • Quantum random number generators
  • Homodyne and heterodyne detectors
  • Planar lightwave circuit interferometers

Data as of 2026-10-16. Assembled on 2026-11-06.

How it is calculated

Components of the source-verified parts tree for which at least one company takes part in a CORDIS quantum project whose title names the component, as on the technology map.

Coverage: Components of the parts tree; CORDIS projects and organisations of the portal snapshot.

Limitations:

  • A company in an EU-funded project about a component is not proof that the component is produced in the EU.
  • The SAB counts components formerly imported and now made in the EU; the portal cannot observe imports.
