Australia’s first National Quantum Strategy
The Australian Government has released our first National Quantum Strategy. The strategy sets a long-term vision for Australia to take advantage of the opportunities that quantum technologies present.
Australia has been at the forefront of quantum science and technology for more than 2 decades. We have world-class research institutions, talented scientists and engineers and a vibrant start-up ecosystem. The strategy outlines how we will seize our quantum future and remain a global leader.
A strategy built on consultation
The National Quantum Strategy is the result of extensive consultation with the quantum sector and wider community, led by Australia’s Chief Scientist Dr Cathy Foley.
We also drew on the expertise of our National Quantum Advisory Committee and contributions from state and territory governments.
