Importance of quantum technologies
Quantum technologies are gaining increasing global attention due to their potential to transform multiple sectors—from information security to high-performance computing and beyond. These technologies are being rapidly developed worldwide, with their practical applications becoming more critical than ever.
The European Commission has identified quantum technologies as one of the strategic areas essential for ensuring economic security and technological independence in the future. By 2030, the European Union aims to establish itself as a global “Quantum Valley”, emphasizing the development and practical implementation of these technologies.
Moreover, the United Nations has declared 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, recognizing the potential of quantum technologies to address global challenges.
All these developments highlight the necessity for Lithuania to actively participate in this technological shift and secure its position in the expanding quantum innovation ecosystem.
To contribute to this effort, the Lithuanian Quantum Technologies Association, together with the initiative group, has developed the Lithuanian Quantum Technologies Agenda—a document that outlines the current state of quantum technology development in Lithuania and provides recommendations for fostering breakthroughs in the field.
We are pleased to invite you to join us for the official presentation of the Lithuanian Quantum Technologies Agenda.
