The United Kingdom hosted the fifth meeting of the Quantum Development Group (QDG) in London from 30 March to 1 April 2026, bringing together 70 senior leaders from 13 countries to discuss cooperation on quantum technologies. Delegates from Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, the United States and the United Kingdom reaffirmed their commitment to secure, trustworthy development of quantum technologies. The group agreed to deepen cooperation across three priority areas: research security, investment security and supply‑chain resilience; creating a more supportive investment environment to scale quantum companies; and setting strategic priorities for international quantum standards to support industrial adoption and open markets. The meeting follows the UK government’s recent £2 billion investment in quantum and the launch of a world‑leading procurement programme.
