What are the business opportunities for EU SMEs in the Japanese Quantum Technology Sector?  

Japan is making significant strides in quantum computing, communication, cryptography, and sensing, driven by substantial government investment and strategic initiatives. For EU firms specialising in quantum software and algorithms, Japan has considerable demand for solutions applicable to the automotive, finance, and healthcare industries. Japan’s emphasis on cybersecurity and secure communication infrastructure further opens market opportunities in quantum cryptography and secure communications. The webinar will present the key players in Quantum Technology in Japan, their main interests, and the areas in which EU SMEs can cooperate with Japan. The webinar will also clarify regulations, policy landscapes, challenges, and opportunities.   

The event targets management and marketing executives of SMEs in the EU looking for partnership or business opportunities in the Quantum Technology Sector in Japan.
