Quantum technology is expected to play an increasingly important role within fields such as healthcare, the green transition and cyber security.
 
The first part of Denmark's new Strategy for Quantum Technology – and the one billion DKK investment – is the first step towards ensuring that Danish quantum research continues to be world-class and that we have a solid framework for developing and using quantum technology in the future.

The government wants to invest one billion DKK in research and innovation, following the launch of the first part of a National Strategy for Quantum Technology. Thus, cementing Denmark’s position and commitment in the quantum field. Denmark aims to have one of the world’s leading quantum research environments and to have the ability to effectively convert research into new, usable technology to global challenges.

Christina Egelund, Minister of Higher Education and Research says:
- We have great ambitions for the development and use of quantum technology in Denmark. Danish quantum research is already at the forefront of the international elite and enjoys great recognition. However, to keep up with developments and stay competitive in a growing global race for talent, investments and knowledge, we need to make an extra effort. This is particularly the case because of the security challenges posed by quantum technology. With this strategy and billion DKK investment, we are creating a favorable environment for the development and application of quantum technology in Denmark, raising Denmark’s visibility and engagement in the quantum field.
