Over 60 leading quantum scientists, policymakers, and institutional representatives from both regions convened in Brussels for the EU-Korea Digital Partnership and Horizon Europe Researchers’ Networking Forum on Quantum Science and Technology on 9 and 10 April 2025.

China Telecom Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "China Telecom") and The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement recently, marking a significant step in strengthening industry-academia-research collaboration. As part of this partnership, both parties announced the establishment of an Artificial Intelligence Innovation Laboratory and a Quantum Innovation Joint Laboratory. Additionally, they will launch a Joint Talent Development Program under a "1+2+1" innovation framework to drive cutting-edge technological advancements, facilitate research commercialization, and cultivate a high-caliber talent pipeline.

With this cooperation, DLR is building a bridge between basic research and practical security assessment: QUANTITY is investigating the significance of quantum computers for cryptanalysis and is helping to identify new threat scenarios at an early stage and develop suitable protective measures to secure sensitive data and communication infrastructures.
