French German Dialogue of Quantum Technology Players in\u00a0Paris<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n

Paris,\u00a007<\/span><\/b>th<\/span><\/b>\u00a0of\u00a0<\/span><\/b>October\u00a02025 <\/span><\/b>\u2013\u00a0The French German Dialogue of Quantum Technology Players took place on\u00a0September\u00a023\u00a0in Paris and Massy, attended by 60 representatives from research, industry, start-ups and political decision-makers from France and Germany. The morning session was held at Station F, and the afternoon at Massy on the\u00a0Quandela\u00a0company site.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On September\u00a023,\u00a02025,\u00a0nearly 60\u00a0representatives from the French and German quantum ecosystems met to accelerate Franco-German cooperation in this field.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following the first quantum dialogue\u00a0organised\u00a0at the French Embassy in Berlin last November, this dialogue is part of the joint ambition of the French and German governments to \u2018bring together the quantum computing ecosystems in France, Germany and the EU and to scale them up\u2019 – reaffirmed in the economic agenda of the Franco-German Council of Ministers on August\u00a029,\u00a02025.<\/span><\/p>\n

By focusing on the needs and expectations of future end-users of quantum technologies, this event, organised by a Franco-German consortium made up of the French Embassy in Germany and the German Embassy in France, the CEA and Fraunhofer research bodies, the Quandela company, the Le Lab Quantique association and QUTAC, a group of very large German industrialists, had a triple objective.<\/span><\/p>\n

First,\u00a0to stimulate new contacts between the French and German ecosystems,\u00a0as well as\u00a0within these ecosystems between a wide range of players: start-ups providing quantum solutions, political decision-makers, providers of high-performance computing infrastructures, large industrial companies,\u00a0research\u00a0and innovation\u00a0organisations, etc.\u00a0Second,\u00a0to enable real exchanges where everyone could express themselves and listen to each other’s needs and challenges.\u00a0And third,\u00a0to stimulate new commitments from the ecosystem that would fuel the Franco-German dynamic around the development of these technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n

The day brought together\u00a0<\/span>corporate representatives and start-ups from Germany<\/span><\/b>:\u00a0Attocube\u00a0systems, BMW, Bosch,\u00a0Celestical, Deutsche Telekom, Deutsche Bahn, HQS Quantum Simulations,\u00a0JoS\u00a0QUANTUM, Lufthansa Industry Solutions,\u00a0Siemens ;<\/span><\/p>\n

Corporate representatives and start-ups from France<\/span><\/b>: Alice & Bob, Axa, BPCE Group, C12, Capgemini, Caisse des D\u00e9p\u00f4ts, Cr\u00e9dit Agricole, EDF, Eviden, OVHcloud, Pasqal, Quandela, Quobly, QbitSoft, SLB (Schlumberger), Thales ; <\/span><\/p>\n

Network representatives<\/span><\/b>: European Champions Alliance, Le Lab\u00a0Quantique, Munich Quantum Valley, Quantum Energy Initiative, Quantum Business Network,\u00a0and\u00a0the Quantum Technology & Application Consortium (QUTAC);<\/span><\/p>\n

Experts from public authorities, research and innovation\u00a0organisations, and high-performance computing infrastructures:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0Agence\u00a0Nationale de la Recherche, CEA, DLR, European Commission, Fraunhofer, French Ministry of Economics and Finance, French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, French Ministry of Research and Higher Education, German Embassy in France, J\u00fclich Supercomputing Center, Quantum BW, SGPI, SPRIND, VDI\u00a0Technologiezentrum.<\/span><\/p>\n

Organised at the heart of the innovation ecosystem, the morning session, introduced by Lucie Finet, deputy director of the French Tech mission, provided an opportunity for active discussions on how to collectively support the development of quantum technologies in France and Germany.<\/span><\/p>\n

Discussions were based on\u00a0initial\u00a0trends and ideas identified as part of the dialogue held a year ago on the obstacles and\u00a0potentials\u00a0of supporting the development of quantum technologies.\u00a0This year\u2019s\u00a0discussions\u00a0aimed to go further by encouraging participants to think about the role that each of them could play in taking the co-development and adoption of quantum technologies by future users to the next level. Individual commitments were made to contribute to this dynamic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Participants then visited the\u00a0Quandela\u00a0factory, a pioneer in photonic quantum computing. In the presence of\u00a0Mr.\u00a0Stephan Steinlein, German Ambassador to France, and Dr.\u00a0Niccolo\u00a0Somaschi, cofounder and CEO of\u00a0Quandela<\/span>, they\u00a0participated\u00a0in a tour of the facility as well as two round-table discussions<\/span><\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n
