🔍 "Europe must move beyond being just a lab and become a leader." These were the words of our CEO & co-founder, Tom Darras, in a recent Tech. eu feature covering Mario Draghi's report on Europe's competitiveness.   The report highlights both the promising initiatives in Europe and the gaps we need to address. While there are remarkable efforts, such as Horizon Europe and national quantum strategies, Europe still risks falling behind global leaders if we don't push further. As Tom put it, “We need bold investments, streamlined regulations, and a commitment to translating groundbreaking research into real-world applications.”   ⭐ At Welinq, we believe in the potential of European innovation, but it's time to bridge the gap between ambition and execution. Our quantum interconnects are designed to turn cutting-edge research into real-world impact, ensuring that Europe not only competes but leads in the quantum revolution. The future of quantum is not just in the lab—it’s about delivering tangible solutions that change industries and society.   Many thanks, Cate Lawrence, for allowing us to express our love for Europe and our desire to see it shine.
