Strategic Objective
Quantum technologies have become a strategic arena of global competition that is critical to national security and is expected to shape, and play a decisive role in, the future operational environment. While most developed countries invest across all components of the field in line with their national quantum strategies, export restrictions on critical components and products are steadily increasing. Within this framework, the platform's strategic objective is to establish a holistic, sustainable, and long-term national ecosystem that enables Türkiye to secure its strategic independence and strengthen its global competitiveness in quantum technologies.
Strategic Priorities
- Qualified human capital: Expanding interdisciplinary graduate programs in universities (quantum engineering, quantum hardware, and quantum science); developing international doctoral and internship programs, promoting academia-industry researcher exchange, and attracting leading researchers from abroad to Turkey.
- Strong research infrastructure: Establishing and opening critical infrastructure for shared use, including advanced nanofabrication, cryogenic test systems, precision measurement laboratories, and sensor packaging capabilities.
- Academia-industry collaboration and productization: Establishing university-industry-research center consortiums; using public and private resources together to rapidly productize concrete prototypes and solutions; ensuring the resulting products contribute to real-world deployment and the economy, with their impact made visible in the field.
- International collaboration: Long-term strategic partnerships with international research centers, knowledge transfer, and shared infrastructure use.
- Awareness: Increasing public awareness through national competitions, workshops, conferences, and communication activities.
Performance Indicators
Turkey's success in this field depends on qualified human capital, strong research infrastructure, effective academia-industry collaborations, integration with international research networks, and rapid productization of R&D outputs. These goals are pursued with transparency, public benefit, and scientific integrity.
