The quantum clock is ticking — and Europe’s digital future hangs in the balance.

In this episode of Innovating Trust, we unpack insights from our new Executive Intelligence Report: Europe and the Quantum Horizon, released in August 2025. The report delivers a sector-by-sector assessment of how prepared — or unprepared — Europe truly is for the quantum era.

We explore:
– The looming risk of Harvest Now, Decrypt Later attacks.
– Readiness levels across four critical domains: Government ID systems, Financial Services, Industrial & Automation Systems, and Military & Defense. – The policy frameworks, funding mechanisms, and standardization efforts shaping Europe’s path to quantum resilience.

The message is clear: the transition to post-quantum cryptography cannot wait. Every day of delay compounds strategic vulnerability.

Listen now to understand the roadmaps, the risks, and the urgent actions needed to secure Europe’s digital sovereignty in the age of quantum disruption.
