Company register (OpenCorporates)
Not configured: the OpenCorporates source is not connected on this site, so no record is requested.
Each fact names its source and the date it was retrieved; dated figures also give the year or date the source states them for. Registers and Wikidata stay authoritative. Register entries, OpenCorporates records included, are read only for identifiers that Wikidata or GLEIF state for this organisation, never by name.

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
8 goals of the draft SRIA 2026 concern these technologies; the first 6 are listed.
- Goal by 2035: Europe operates the world’s most advanced quantum communication infrastructure: long-distance links between dense multi-user metropolitan networks, several validated commercial use cases and open access facilities.
- Milestone Phase 1 (now to 2028): QKD networks in routine use, national and cross-border, terrestrial and space, including real enterprise environments; at least one EU institution or Member State administration buys a QKD-secured service for its own traffic.
- Milestone Phase 2 (2028–2030): First-generation general-purpose pilot networks in a metropolitan environment; procurement of QKD-secured services in at least three Member States; a European QKD core connecting the EU institutions with the first national QCIs.
- Milestone Phase 3 (2030–2035): Second-generation general-purpose pilots at inter-metropolitan distance (200 km), open access facilities launched, quantum-secure communication across major industrial and critical sectors and mature certification.
- Goal 2035 KPI: At least 50 organisations in the EU buy and use European QKD without subsidies.
- Goal 2035 KPI: More than 80% of systems certified, depending on the application, with a pan-European network of accredited laboratories.
