Briefings
Vietnamese quantum expert Nguyen Luong Quang recommends closer EU partnerships to build Vietnam's quantum workforce and industrial capabilities. His proposal suggests joint training, remote access to European quantum computers, and participation in software, optical components, and chip supply chains. This recommendation builds on existing EU-Vietnam cooperation, including a 2025 European Commission letter of intent and a 2026 strategic partnership upgrade, though it does not constitute an approved agreement or funding commitment. Quang specifically advocates for partnerships with France, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, and Spain, prioritizing training and software through 2030 before moving to hardware projects by 2035.
Key points
- Vietnamese quantum expert Nguyen Luong Quang recommends closer EU partnerships to build Vietnam's quantum workforce, research infrastructure, and industrial capabilities.
- The proposal identifies joint training, remote access to European quantum computers, and participation in software, optical component, and specialized chip supply chains as key pathways for Vietnam's quantum development.
Context
Vietnam's quantum sector is developing alongside European initiatives, including a 2025 European Commission Quantum Europe Strategy and a 2026 Comprehensive Strategic Partnership upgrade between Hanoi and Brussels. These frameworks provide a potential foundation for deeper cooperation, though they do not guarantee immediate access to infrastructure or funding. Quang's recommendations aim to leverage existing political and scientific ties to create a sustainable domestic quantum ecosystem.
Limitations
Evidence is limited to an expert interview with Vietnam News Agency's Brussels correspondent. Specific implementation timelines remain uncertain, with Quang's roadmap depending on government decisions, financing, and negotiated partnerships. No official funding commitments or binding agreements are confirmed, and the scope of supply chain participation is not fully detailed.
