Draft for consultation. This is the draft Strategic Research and Industry Agenda of the second phase of the public consultation, not an adopted agenda: chapters, goals and figures may change.
Public consultation: closed on 2026-10-02, as stated on qt.eu. Comments were collected per chapter through the consultation page. qt.eu gives 2 October 2026 as the closing date for every chapter (consultation page and news post of 19 September 2026, read on 27 October 2026); the draft PDF (page 145) states 16 to 30 September. Responses went through one form per chapter on the consultation page.
Seeks repeatable, accessible and trusted quantum chip manufacturing through four levers: resilient fabrication capacity, industrial processes and design kits, demand creation, and cross-cutting enablers, with gate criteria for 2030 and 2035.

Drafting status: Several baselines are shown as to be established: the figures were being collected in the consultation window, and indicators without a defensible baseline stay open. Page 145

Goalby 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.
At least one European sovereign quantum foundry or foundry-style infrastructure, possibly distributed and grown from pilot lines, with shared access, IP protection and validated design kits.
External access to priority pilot lines operational, TRL 6–7 reached, maps of critical inputs with mitigation plans, and reproducible industrial-grade processes.
Standardised procedures, an initial building-block catalogue, validated PDK and QPDK flows used by external users, and benchmarking below full-stack level.
Create a European Anchor User Alliance and a European Quantum Chips Observatory, and use procurement, grants and Joint Undertaking instruments for market pull.
10 000 direct jobs in quantum chip industrialisation by 2035 (1 000 by 2030), and a 35% market share by value for components made in European facilities.
