Related goals of the draft SRIA 2026
13 goals of the draft SRIA 2026 concern these technologies; the first 6 are listed.
- Goal ambition for 2035: Deliver verified quantum advantage through quantum simulation, maturing end-to-end materials-simulation workflows in which fermionic simulators work inside industrial modelling pipelines.
- Goal by 2035: Lead in quantum sensors through validated, field-deployable and industrially relevant system performance: sensitivity, stability and traceability, robustness, size and power, and advantage benchmarked against classical sensors.
- Goal by 2035: European suppliers should hold a defined share of the EU installed base in named product classes, with less reliance on non-European bottleneck components.
- Milestone 2030 KPI: At least three sensor classes reach TRL 6–7, with selected priority platforms validated in relevant environments.
- 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 2030 KPI: Prototype miniaturised systems with at least 50% less size, weight and power, and tested integration in selected platforms.
