ABOUT US

The Lithuanian Quantum Technologies Association was established in 2023 on the initiative of three founding institutions - Vilnius University (Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics together with the Faculty of Physics), Center for Physical Sciences and Technology (Departments of Optoelectronics, Laser Technologies, and Fundamental Research), and the IT company "Novian Technologies".

The main objectives of the association are to pool the competences and resources of Lithuania's companies and research institutions for the development of quantum technologies in the country and to strengthen its international competitiveness. The Association aims to create conditions for the development of new companies that apply quantum technology solutions in their activities. It also aims to raise public awareness of quantum technologies and their impact on social well-being, national and economic security.

Members of the Association and members of the Lithuanian quantum ecosystem participate in key quantum technology development initiatives in the European Union, including the Quantum Community Network, the Quantum Industry Consortium, and the European Commission's groups for coordination of national initiatives, to enhance collaboration and innovations in quantum technologies.

MISSION OF THE ASSOCIATION

To develop a sustainable quantum technology ecosystem in Lithuania, creating favorable conditions for business creation and scientific research, ensuring advanced technological development of the country.
