On March 5, 2026, the Swiss Quantum Commission published the Swiss Quantum Strategy, the country’s first national strategy document for quantum technologies. According to SWI swissinfo.ch, the strategy calls for positioning Switzerland as a leading global hub for quantum technologies, backed by investments of CHF 200–300 million (~USD 256–384 million).
Drafted by the Swiss Quantum Commission on behalf of the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI), the document covers all four major branches of quantum technology: communication, computing, simulation, and sensing. It recommends the creation of a national quantum hub with sector-specific infrastructure including specialized cleanrooms, test facilities, and competence centers for quantum sensors and communication. A national facility for quantum simulations is also proposed.
More than 200 research groups are active in quantum technology within Switzerland. The strategy acknowledges a gap between the country’s strong research base and its startup and commercialization activity, proposing targeted funding instruments for young companies and public support to reduce risks associated with long-term private investment. For the 2025–2028 period, the Confederation has allocated a maximum of CHF 82.1 million for the Swiss Quantum Initiative, as stated on the SERI website.
