In 2024, Belgium’s federal ministry launched an ad-hoc quantum working group to coordinate developments across the country’s regional and federal levels. According to a Belgian Digital Decade country report submitted to the EU Council in June 2025, the ministry also drafted a paper to assess quantum technologies’ economic impact and map the ecosystem at national and EU levels.
The report stated that Belgium prioritizes “research, education and attracting/retaining quantum skilled researchers, rather than rolling out a national strategy,” given that quantum computing remains in a research phase. The Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium (CCB) was noted as participating in both the EU-level Quantum Technologies Cooperation Group and the NIS Cooperation Group Work Stream on post-quantum cryptography.
Belgium had not yet published a stand-alone national quantum strategy as of mid-2025, though the working group was established to share relevant developments across government levels and organize strategic discussions about the country’s next steps.
