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
4 goals of the draft SRIA 2026 concern these technologies; the first 4 are listed.
- Milestone by 2030: 100 logical qubits with logical error rates around 10^-6 by 2030, matching the Commission objective of about 100 logical qubits by 2030.
- Goal by 2035: 1000 logical qubits with logical error rates around 10^-6 by 2035; the draft calls this the lower edge of broad utility rather than an end point.
- Goal in 2035: Superconducting: run fully error-corrected algorithms on hundreds of qubits without unwieldy overhead, by making the best qubits first and then scaling; analogue and annealing processors show certified utility within HPC workflows.
- 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.
