Japan’s Q-STAR propels quantum technology’s global impact, emphasising practical applications and prioritising collaboration and societal problem-solving.

Q-STAR (Quantum STrategic industry Alliance for Revolution) was established in Japan in September 2021 to create new industries and business opportunities based on quantum technology. Its members come from various business sectors, including startups, small and medium-sized enterprises, large corporations, and academic institutions.

Q-STAR proactively collaborates with organisations in diverse fields globally, transcending industry and corporate boundaries to develop the quantum technology-related business of the future.

We have set five missions to achieve our goal:

1. Build a society where the use of quantum is for everyone — by 2030, 5-10% of the population in major developed countries will be using quantum technology;

2. Promote the globalisation of quantum technology — advancing the progress and application of quantum technology through international co-operation alongside accelerating economic globalisation;

3. Support business opportunity creation by applying quantum technologies — support the participation of quantum vendors and users in the venture business market, expanding the scope of the quantum industry;

4. Promote the quantum industry by training human resources and widely disseminating information — developing a programme to recruit and train workers in quantum and related fields, making it clear that implementation of quantum is essential for the future;

5. Promote industrialisation through the collaboration of industry, government, and academia collaboration — we propose a forum, Quantum United, for industry-government-academia collaboration for various countries

We emphasise more on creating business with quantum rather than academically researching quantum technology.
