ProgrammesThe European Commission has published a Recommendation on Post-Quantum Cryptography to encourage Member States to develop and implement a coordinated approach towards post-quantum cryptography.
Quantum technologies can bring many economic and societal benefits, but advances in quantum computing are expected to also make it easier for malicious actors to access sensitive data.
Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is one of the solutions to continue to protect communications for the security of our citizens, societies, economies and the EU's digital single market. PQC is based on mathematical problems that are difficult even for quantum computers to solve. As a software-based solution, it is compatible with existing infrastructures in several sectors, and can thus be deployed relatively swiftly.
The recommendation will help Member States develop a consistent strategy to migrate towards more secure ways of protecting their digital infrastructures, promoting interoperability between countries, and allowing seamlessly functioning systems and services across borders.
Stakeholders planning to submit project proposals on PQC in the future should demonstrate awareness with the content of this recommendation.

Avia-GIS is a Belgian innovative SME established in 2001. They have built research and public authority trust over the past 19 years and developed a unique, disruptive software suite - VECMAP® - that supports society to overcome one of its important health threats, the spreading of Pests of Public Health importance.
With the help of a Horizon 2020 SME Instrument Phase 2 project, they will be able to add Integrated Pest Management functionalities and go to the market. With the grant, that was an essential component of their second investment round, Avia-GIS aims at raising its revenue from the current 2 M€ to 14.2 M€ in 2024, and increase the headcount from 15 to 58.
