Sharing Strategies for Quantum Industry Development Policies
Participation of France’s Leading Quantum Computing Company
Enactment of the Seoul Quantum Industry Promotion Support Ordinance
The Seoul Metropolitan Government is totally launching an industrial improvement system centered on quantum expertise. By linking quantum expertise with key industries resembling synthetic intelligence (AI), bio, and finance, the metropolis goals to show Seoul into a world quantum {industry} hub.
On the twenty fifth, the 4th Seoul Quantum Platform Forum was held at SETEC below the theme of “Quantum Transformation (QX).” The occasion was organized to share the progress of Seoul’s quantum {industry} promotion insurance policies and future methods.
At the discussion board, specialists from {industry}, academia, and analysis institutes mentioned the newest developments in quantum expertise, the potential for convergence with the AI, bio, and monetary industries, and future methods for Seoul’s quantum {industry}.
Following a keynote speech by Roberto Mauro, Head of the Korea workplace of Pasqal, France’s main quantum computing firm, displays got by Lee Jungu, CEO of Qnova, Kim Junhwan, Head of the AX Digital Division at Shinhan Financial Group, and Jung Jaeho, Director of the Institute of Convergence Science and Technology at Yonsei University.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government is accelerating the improvement of quantum expertise as a core strategic expertise that can decide future industrial competitiveness. Through a quantum transformation technique that connects technological change to structural transformation throughout industries, the metropolis plans to pursue each the creation of recent future industries and the strengthening of commercial competitiveness. To this finish, it’s implementing a complete improvement coverage with key pillars together with the institution of quantum {industry} infrastructure, coaching of execs, assist for analysis and improvement (R&D) and expertise commercialization, and reinforcement of cooperation networks amongst {industry}, academia, and analysis institutes.
Based on the Seoul Metropolitan Government Ordinance on Support for Quantum Industry Promotion enacted final 12 months, the metropolis additionally plans to ascertain the Seoul Quantum Technology Industry Mid- to Long-Term Development Strategy, which can set the coverage path for the subsequent 5 years and supply a scientific basis for industrial improvement.

To domesticate expertise as a core basis supporting the industrial ecosystem, the metropolis has additionally been working the Seoul Quantum Campus since 2024. It is the nation’s first specialised quantum commercialization training program aimed toward coaching professionals for enterprise improvement primarily based on quantum expertise.
The metropolis can be supporting R&D initiatives in quantum computing, quantum cryptography communication, and quantum sensing for small and medium-sized enterprises primarily based in Seoul and for industry-academia-research consortia, with funding of as much as 200 million gained per challenge. Through this assist, QSIMPLUS, which developed interconnection expertise for quantum cryptography communication tools, acquired a CES 2024 Innovation Award, whereas Digital Netset, which is creating safety expertise primarily based on post-quantum cryptography, has entered the Indonesian public safety market. Optiq Labs filed a patent in January this 12 months for the improvement of a extremely secure laser module, a core expertise for ion-trap quantum computer systems.
Lee Suyeon, coverage chief of the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s Economic Policy Office, mentioned, “Seoul is the optimal location for the industrialization of quantum technology in connection with key industries such as AI, bio, and finance, as it is home to the nation’s quantum research workforce and major universities and companies,” including, “We will continue to provide policy support so that Seoul can leap forward as a Global Quantum Hub through infrastructure development, talent cultivation, and cross-industry convergence.”
