Initiative overview

Ireland’s National Quantum Technology Strategy (2023) outlines a plan to build the country’s strength in quantum science and its applications. Quantum technologies—like ultra-fast computing, secure communications, and advanced sensors—are expected to impact many sectors. The strategy aims to prepare Ireland to take part in this global shift and benefit from future breakthroughs.

The strategy is built on five main pillars: supporting strong fundamental and applied research, developing top science and engineering talent, promoting national and international collaboration, boosting innovation and entrepreneurship, and raising awareness of quantum’s potential. Together, these actions aim to create a strong, connected ecosystem for quantum in Ireland.

It involves universities, public research bodies, industry, and international partners. The goal is to ensure Ireland can compete globally, support new businesses, and use quantum technologies responsibly and effectively.

As the field grows, this strategy provides a foundation for future investment, skills development, and global partnerships—positioning Ireland as an active player in the emerging quantum economy.
