Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) announced the "South Korea's Quantum Science and Technology Strategy" for the quantum leap of the country's quantum science, technology, and industry on June 27th at Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP).

This strategy, which reflects the conversation between President Yoon Seok-yeol and quantum scholars at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich on January 19th, is the first-ever national strategy that encompasses the medium- to long-term vision and comprehensive development strategy for quantum science and technology.

Minister Lee Jong-ho of the Ministry of Science and ICT emphasized, "Although South Korea entered the field of quantum science and technology relatively late, there is still a golden opportunity as quantum technology has not yet been fully industrialized." He further stated, "To position South Korea as a leading country in the quantum economy by around 2035, the government, academia, research institutions, and industry must join forces and make a concerted effort. South Korea will solidify its foundation to make a significant leap as a central country in the global quantum economy."
