The US issued two executive orders accelerating the transition to post-quantum cryptography and recognising quantum computing as vital to national security, emphasising strengthening domestic supply chains and component manufacturing. The orders focus on securing vulnerable parts of the quantum technology supply chain and fostering innovation across modalities without a current single dominant approach.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Deep Tech: Telecom & Connectivity.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must act on securing your supply chain and IP protections as US policy sharply shifts to fast-track quantum tech deployment. Focus on component suppliers who are becoming strategic bottlenecks or new domestic manufacturing opportunities to gain market access.
