To further develop the Swiss quantum ecosystem, the Swiss Quantum Commission (SQC) recommends in the Swiss Quantum Strategy, among other measures, the establishment of a deep-tech fund to help start-ups and SMEs scale more effectively and to secure value creation and intellectual property at an early stage. In addition, applications of quantum technologies should be specifically promoted, and the transition from academic excellence to entrepreneurship should be strengthened. At the same time, Switzerland’s strong education system and its excellence in fundamental research should continue to be supported.
