Latest Market insights

The 2026 PQC Readiness Survey Report, conducted by NC3 in partnership with LuxQuantum, assesses Luxembourg's Post-Quantum Cryptography maturity across more than 25 organisations spanning IT leadership, CISOs, CIOs, and executives. The findings reveal an ecosystem broadly aware of the quantum threat yet slow to translate that awareness into concrete action — leaving significant gaps ahead of the EU's December 2030 deadline for full PQC adoption in high-risk use cases.
92% Awareness of PQC of respondents have heard of Post-Quantum Cryptography — but 40% have no designated PQC leader within their organisation
72% Leadership Support of respondents’ report leadership support for PQC initiatives more than half lack a defined strategy or roadmap For migration. Only a 16% have initiated pilots or Proofs of Concept (POC).
11% Vulnerability Assessment have identified which of their cryptographic systems are most vulnerable to quantum threats. Migration timelines vary significantly, with 48% unsure or expecting action only in five to ten years.
24% In-house PQC Expertise report having in-house PQC expertise, and most do not plan to invest in training or hiring within the next year.
