EuroHPC Launches 4 New Calls to Boost Quantum Innovation and Standardization in Europe

June 2, 2026 — The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) has announced four new calls to accelerate quantum technologies, enhancing Europe’s capabilities in navigation, computing and standardization. Grand Challenge on Quantum Sensors for Inertial Navigation Through this call, HORIZON-JU-EUROHPC-2026-NGC-04, the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking aims to advance the development of quantum-enabled navigation systems for use in GNSS-denied […] The post EuroHPC Launches 4 New Calls to Boost Quantum Innovation and Standardization in Europe appeared first on HPCwire .

Why this matters
Why now

Europe is actively pursuing technological sovereignty in advanced computing and recognizing quantum's strategic importance, especially given geopolitical competition.

Why it’s important

This initiative signifies a concerted European effort to build domestic capabilities in quantum technologies, aiming to reduce reliance on external powers and enhance strategic autonomy.

What changes

Europe is now actively funding and coordinating quantum technology development with a focus on practical applications like navigation and computing, moving beyond pure research.

Winners
  • · European quantum tech companies
  • · European defense sector
  • · Academic research institutions in Europe
  • · GNSS-denied navigation solutions providers
Losers
  • · Non-European quantum hardware providers
  • · Legacy navigation system manufacturers
  • · Companies without strong European partnerships
Second-order effects
Direct

Increased investment and accelerated development of quantum technologies within the EuroHPC framework.

Second

Europe establishes a competitive edge in specific quantum application areas, potentially leading to new industry standards.

Third

Enhanced European strategic autonomy and reduced dependency on foreign technologies for critical infrastructure like navigation and advanced computing.
