Delft, 11 November 2025 – We are proud to share that Q*Bird is featured in the latest white paper by the World Economic Forum and Accenture, showcasing how we are pioneering quantum-secure communications for critical infrastructure.
The report, “Quantum Technologies: Key Opportunities for Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chains,” explores how quantum technologies are unlocking new industrial capabilities where classical systems fall short, across design and production, logistics and cybersecurity.
In 2024, global supply chain disruptions rose by 38%, while cyberattacks against industrial organisations surged 87% with manufacturing now the top ransomware target. As these threats accelerate, quantum-secure communication is becoming essential to safeguard critical infrastructure.
Among the case studies, the Port of Rotterdam is recognised for deploying a quantum-secured fibre-optic network using Q*Bird’s Measurement-Device-Independent Quantum Key Distribution (MDI QKD) technology in collaboration with Eurofiber.
Handling nearly 500 million tons of cargo each year and contributing over 8% to the Dutch GDP, the Port’s digital infrastructure is vital to European trade and national resilience. Q*Bird’s MDI QKD Falqon® Series safeguards one of Europe’s most vital logistics hubs, the Port of Rotterdam, against quantum-era threats, ensuring secure communication and protecting maritime and supply chain operations at the national scale. This deployment demonstrates how quantum technologies are becoming a strategic shield against escalating cyber and supply chain attacks, particularly as manufacturing and logistics face rising disruption and digitisation.
At Q*Bird, we believe quantum threats demand quantum solutions. Our entanglement-based MDI QKD architecture delivers:
✓ Intrinsic security — Secure communication safeguarded by the laws of quantum physics.
✓ Future-proof protection — Resilient against quantum computing attacks, now and into the future.
✓ Seamless integration — Compatible with existing network infrastructure.
✓ Scalability — Multi-node, multi-hub networks managed by the Q*Bird Quantum Domain Controller (QDC).
As industries prepare for the quantum era, Q*Bird is proud to help secure the backbone of Europe’s digital and physical infrastructure, from government to defense and telecoms to ports, today and for the connected future!
