Singtel signed three Memoranda of Understanding with industry leaders, Cisco, Fortinet, and Nokia, to provide quantum security solutions to enterprises through its Quantum Safe Network (QSN). With this collaboration, enterprises can tap on Cisco's routing platform, Fortinet's firewalls and Nokia's optical devices to boost their defences against advanced cyber threats. These solutions utilise quantum key distribution, which is a secure method for distributing encryption keys only known between shared parties, from Singtel’s QSN and can be easily integrated into the enterprises’ existing network and security infrastructure.

In the framework of the ARTES strategic programme line Space Systems for Safety and Security (4S), the European Space Agency (ESA) awarded a contract for the innovative End-to-End Quantum-Safe Security for Satellite Data Links (E2EQSS) project to shield satellite communications from emergent quantum threats.

Quantum eMotion Corp. is pleased to formally announce the reception of a significant research grant awarded by the AllianceQuantum grants program, overseen by the Natural Sciences and EngineeringResearch Council of Canada (NSERC). This grant supports the project "Quantum random number generation for highly secure cryptography applications," a collaborative initiative led by École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS), in partnership with QeM.

Today marks the official launch of the Chattanooga Quantum Collaborative (CQC), a non-profit organization dedicated to spearheading the development of a thriving quantum ecosystem in Chattanooga, Hamilton County, and beyond.
