Strategic MOU Signing: BTQ joins forces with FQCF, QuINSA, and QCI to advance quantum projects.
National Quantum Focus: Agreement aligns with South Korea’s plan to become a global quantum economy hub by 2035.
Security Emphasis: BTQ strengthens quantum security solutions for global networks and digital infrastructure.
BTQ Technologies Corp. (CBOE CA: BTQ) (FSE: NG3) (OTCQX: BTQQF), headquartered in Vancouver, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Future Quantum Convergence Forum (FQCF), the Quantum Industrial Standard Association (QuINSA), and the Future Quantum Convergence Institute (QCI). The agreement sets a framework for ventures that span industrial standards, events, seminars, and programs bridging academia and industry. BTQ envisions a wider presence in South Korea by aligning with national objectives established under the Quantum Technology Industry Act and the latest Quantum Science and Technology Strategy.
The new MOU addresses shared goals around quantum security, network safety, and commercial progress. Each participating group brings unique expertise to the table, with FQCF focusing on industry and research, QuINSA concentrating on de facto standards, and QCI supporting cooperative programs that benefit both industrial and academic sectors. Activities will include sessions that promote knowledge-sharing and new use cases for quantum devices in real-world applications.
"This partnership underscores BTQ’s commitment to driving quantum innovation on a global scale. Collaborating with leading organizations like FQCF, QuINSA, and QCI enables us to accelerate the development of cutting-edge quantum solutions while building stronger ties with the South Korean quantum ecosystem."
— Nicolas Roussy Newton, Chief Operating Officer, BTQ Technologies
The South Korean government has introduced legislation and a roadmap to build a 1,000-qubit quantum computer, deploy a 100-km quantum network, and grow the quantum industry’s market share to 10%. Goals also include forming 1,200 quantum-focused companies by 2035. These efforts rest on a strategic approach that unifies academic and private research, strengthens security integration, and invests in specialized testbeds and production facilities.
"We look forward to fostering mutually beneficial collaboration in the field of quantum communication with the FQCF, the QuINSA, and Canada’s BTQ. This partnership will serve as a significant step toward advancing global quantum technology and standardization."
— Hyo-Sil Kim, Director, Future Quantum Convergence Institute (QCI)
Local industry is encouraged to join in by leveraging exclusive licensing options and intellectual property support. South Korea also seeks ties with international players such as the United States and European Union, funding cooperative research and boosting development across various quantum verticals. BTQ’s focus on security positions it to work alongside domestic and international efforts to build safer networks for the next generation of computing.
By signing this MOU, BTQ underlines its mission to safeguard digital infrastructure against quantum threats. The effort places the company in a strong position to help shape quantum guidelines, host educational events, and assist with programs that bring research and industry closer together.
