Policy

Overview

The Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C) is the leading voice for the global quantum industry, advocating for policies that accelerate the transition of quantum information science and technology (QIST) from the lab to the marketplace. Our work focuses on building a robust, secure, and globally competitive quantum ecosystem essential for U.S. economic growth and national security. 

We collaborate with Congress, federal agencies, and global partners to ensure a coordinated national strategy, address market hurdles, and secure vital funding. This portal is your resource for QED-C’s official policy positions, whitepapers, and reports across our core policy themes.
