France 2030 — VIQTHOR: Empowered by the National Innovation Drive
What Is France 2030? Launched in 2021, France 2030 is an ambitious national investment plan with a €54 billion budget over five years. Its goal is to position France as a global leader in strategic technologies and industrial sovereignty. The plan targets high-impact sectors such as energy, quantum technologies, space, mobility, healthcare, artificial intelligence, and the ecological transition.
Key Objectives of France 2030
- Mieux produire (“Produce better”): Support innovation in small modular reactors (SMRs), hydrogen power, electrified transport, and industrial decarbonization.
- Mieux vivre (“Live better”): Enhance food traceability, sustainable farming practices, and therapeutic biomanufacturing for chronic disease treatment.
- Mieux comprendre (“Understand better”): Invest in new frontiers such as reusable micro-launchers, satellite constellations, and deep-sea exploration.
Quantum & Digital Initiatives
France 2030 includes a major push for quantum leadership through programs such as:
- HQI (Hybrid Quantum Initiative): A €72.3 million project combining classical and quantum computing resources. It provides researchers, startups, and industrial partners access to cutting-edge quantum computing infrastructure.
- PEPR Quantum: A national research program supporting fundamental and applied quantum research. It includes over 10 funded projects, specialized calls for “flying qubit” systems, and two EquipEx platforms. By 2022, over 500 scientific papers had been published through this initiative.
VIQTHOR: Recognized by France 2030
As a winner of the national i‑Lab Innovation Contest, VIQTHOR was selected for France 2030 support based on the high potential of its quantum control technologies. Our project was evaluated on scientific merit, environmental impact, and industrial relevance.
This recognition allowed us to:
- Strengthen our R&D roadmap and technical partnerships
- Secure non-dilutive funding and private investment
- Contribute directly to France’s technological sovereignty in quantum instrumentation
Why It Matters for VIQTHOR
- France 2030 enables the transition from academic research to real-world, scalable quantum systems.
- With national support, VIQTHOR can accelerate the development of sovereign RF, microwave, and photonic tools crucial for quantum computing platforms.
- It validates our mission of providing high-performance, accessible, and modular solutions to labs and industrial players across Europe and beyond.
