Italy’s Interministerial Committee for the Digital Transition (Comitato Interministeriale per la Transizione Digitale, or CITD) formally adopted the Italian Strategy for Quantum Technologies in July 2025. The final document was published on the Ministry of University and Research website on September 5, 2025.
According to Il Sole 24 ORE, the strategy was developed by a working group established by MUR in collaboration with the ministries of Foreign Affairs, Defence, and Enterprises, the Department for Digital Transformation, and the National Cybersecurity Agency (ACN). It covers research and industrial applications, training, and national security. ACN Director General Bruno Frattasi described it as “the first step towards the implementation of a truly resilient and sovereign quantum ecosystem.”
Defence Minister Guido Crosetto stated that the strategy represented “an essential tool to strengthen the resilience of our country’s system.” Undersecretary for Innovation Alessio Butti said the strategy confirmed Italy’s ambition to be “at the forefront of quantum technologies.” The strategy is aligned with the Quantum Europe Strategy published by the European Commission in July 2025.
