National Quantum Strategy: Development and Benchmarking

Half day In person or online

A structured briefing for senior civil servants and national security advisors on designing, launching, and measuring a national quantum strategy. Covers how leading quantum nations structure their programmes, common strategic gaps, and how to benchmark progress against the US, UK, EU, and China timelines. Delivered without vendor influence.

Anatomy of a national quantum strategy: objectives, funding, and governance
Benchmarking against the US National Quantum Initiative and UK NQCC
Technology readiness levels: how to apply them to sovereign programmes
Common strategic gaps: workforce, infrastructure, and standards alignment
Building cross-ministry coordination without losing programme momentum

Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards Compliance for Government

Half day In person or online

A compliance-focused workshop covering NIST FIPS 203, 204, and 205 (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA), ETSI quantum-safe specifications, and CNSA 2.0 migration requirements. Designed for regulators, standards body representatives, and procurement leads who must integrate PQC mandates into policy and contract frameworks.

NIST FIPS 203/204/205: what each standard mandates and when
ETSI GR QSC: European harmonisation and where gaps remain
CNSA 2.0 timeline: NSA requirements for national security systems
Cryptographic inventory as a policy instrument
Procurement language and contract clauses for PQC compliance

Quantum Technology Policy for Legislators and Regulators

Half day In person or online

Covers the legislative and regulatory landscape for quantum computing, quantum communications, and quantum sensing. Equips policymakers with the technical literacy to evaluate competing claims, design proportionate regulation, and avoid over-restricting emerging technology while protecting public interests.

Quantum computing, communications, and sensing: what each does and what it does not
Current legislative frameworks: EU Chips Act, US CHIPS and Science Act, UK quantum commitments
Designing proportionate regulation for dual-use quantum technologies
Export controls and technology transfer: current ITAR/EAR quantum restrictions
How to evaluate vendor and academic claims without a physics background

Sovereign Quantum Capability Assessment

Half day In person or online

A practical framework for assessing a nation's current quantum capability across research, industry, and defence dimensions. Covers talent pipelines, hardware manufacturing readiness, supply chain dependencies, and the policy levers available to accelerate sovereign capability without duplicating allied investment.

Defining sovereign capability: research excellence versus deployable systems
Talent pipeline assessment: PhD output, retention, and diaspora risk
Hardware supply chain mapping: where strategic dependencies sit
Allied programme complementarity: avoiding duplication, identifying gaps
Policy levers: procurement, immigration, and industrial strategy for quantum

Critical National Infrastructure Quantum Risk

Half day In person or online

Examines the quantum threat to critical national infrastructure sectors including energy, water, transport, finance, and telecommunications. Covers harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks on long-lived data, the cryptographic exposure of operational technology, and a prioritised migration framework for CNI operators working within regulatory obligations.

Harvest-now-decrypt-later: which CNI data is already at risk and why
Operational technology cryptography: the exposure gap in industrial systems
Sector-by-sector risk ranking: energy, finance, telecoms, transport, water
Regulatory obligations and the CNI operator's PQC migration timetable
Incident response planning for a post-quantum threat environment

International Quantum Cooperation and Treaty Frameworks

Half day In person or online

Covers the current landscape of bilateral and multilateral quantum cooperation agreements, technology-sharing limitations under export control regimes, and the emerging discussion around quantum arms control. Designed for foreign policy advisors, defence attaches, and officials engaged in international science and technology diplomacy.

Existing quantum cooperation frameworks: Five Eyes, EU Quantum Flagship, AUKUS Pillar II
Technology-sharing boundaries: what export controls permit and prohibit
Standardisation diplomacy: influencing NIST, ETSI, and ISO from outside the US
Quantum arms control: current proposals and why consensus remains distant
Structuring bilateral quantum agreements: legal form, scope, and verification
