Quantum Taiwan 2026 brings together researchers and industry leaders to explore quantum technology advances, foster innovation, and encourage international collaboration. The event runs from November 10 to November 11. As Võ Hoàng Hải, Deputy CEO of Nam A Bank, explained, “Nam A Bank invests in core technologies, including quantum technology, to help build high-tech capabilities in Vietnam through strong and effective cooperation with French organizations.”
Quandela and Quanova Launch Vietnam’s First Quantum Computer
Quanova selected the MosaiQ solution to underpin a new quantum research, innovation, service and entrepreneurship program, dubbed quantum-RISE, at QTU, a project financially supported by Nam A Bank. This initiative marks a significant expansion for Quandela into Southeast Asia and solidifies a growing technological partnership between France and Vietnam. The collaboration extends beyond simply installing hardware; it aims to cultivate a sustainable quantum ecosystem within Vietnam. A key component of this effort is the Quantum Innovator Residency Program, designed to bring together students, researchers, educators and technology innovators to explore practical applications of quantum computing.
Dedicated curricula, access to Quandela’s software environment, and faculty training will further support the development of a new generation of quantum talent in Vietnam, according to the companies involved. “Establishing a robust quantum ecosystem requires far more than technological access,” stated a representative from Quandela, “It demands research, expertise, infrastructure, and the capacity to align quantum computing with real-world applications. By joining forces with FPT, we are combining these key pillars to deliver impactful projects together in Vietnam.” The partnership was officially announced in Ho Chi Minh City on the evening of October 21, 2026, with representatives for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (C4IR) in attendance.
“As part of the first French delegation dedicated to quantum technologies in Vietnam, I welcome Quandela’s commitment, which is enabling Vietnam to acquire its first quantum computer—a symbol of the trust uniting our two countries in the technologies of the future,” added a representative from the French delegation. The companies also plan to explore broader cooperation, research institutions and industrial stakeholders to identify new quantum use cases and strengthen collaboration between the Vietnamese and European quantum ecosystems.

France-Vietnam Partnership Drives Quantum Technology Collaboration
This two-year agreement will combine FPT’s Vietnamese market expertise with Quandela’s photonic quantum computing capabilities, encompassing hardware, software and cloud infrastructure. Initial collaborative efforts will center on quantum algorithms, communications and cybersecurity applications, aiming to translate theoretical advancements into practical solutions tailored for the Vietnamese context. The companies plan to jointly investigate these areas, using each organization’s strengths to accelerate innovation. This collaboration builds upon a strategic agreement formalized during the France-Vietnam Leaders Forum, witnessed by President Tô Lâm and French President Emmanuel Macron.
Nam A Bank’s financial support is integral to the initiative, specifically aiding the establishment of a quantum education and research ecosystem at Quang Trung University. The program at Quang Trung University will provide a comprehensive platform for education, research and innovation, using Quandela’s MosaiQ quantum computer as a central resource.

MosaiQ Quantum Computer Powers Quantum Innovator Residency Program
The MosaiQ quantum computer now underpins a new residency program at Quang Trung University, designed to cultivate Vietnamese quantum expertise. This deployment marks the first instance of a quantum computer being installed within Vietnam, facilitating hands-on learning and research opportunities for students and faculty. “To co-create new technologies, we must first build trusted partnerships and train the next generation,” said Rossy Nguyen Hoang Hong Nhung, CEO of Quanova, summarizing the collaborative approach.
The program’s structure emphasizes long-term capacity building, moving beyond simple hardware installation to encourage a sustainable quantum ecosystem. Quandela’s participation extends to its inclusion in the 2026 French Tech 2030 cohort, a program the company has been part of for three consecutive years since its 2023 launch.
This selection emphasises Quandela’s commitment to making quantum computing accessible, with the goal of addressing complex industrial and societal challenges. The company designs and builds ready-to-use quantum computers for data centers, cloud-accessible quantum processors and algorithm access services for industrial clients. The partnership with Quanova and QTU represents a significant expansion of Quandela’s presence in Southeast Asia demonstrating a growing international focus on collaborative quantum development.
Quandela is very proud to see its strategic partnership with Quanova already materialize in the first France-Vietnam quantum computing project and the deployment of Vietnam’s first quantum computer. We sincerely thank Quang Trung University and Nam A Bank for their trust. Together, we are laying the foundations for a lasting quantum ecosystem that will support education, research and innovation in Vietnam.
FPT Corporation Joins Quandela to Expand Vietnam’s Quantum Ecosystem
FPT Corporation formalized its commitment to Vietnam’s burgeoning quantum ecosystem by signing a two-year Memorandum of Understanding with Quandela on October 19, 2026. The agreement outlines collaborative exploration of quantum research, cloud computing, education and talent development, with a focus on identifying future applications for both industry and governmental sectors. Dr. Nguyen Xuan Phong, Chief AI Transformation Officer of FPT Corporation and Director of the Quantum AI & Cyber Security Institute, emphasized the need for internal capability strengthening through access to advanced technologies.
“Through this collaboration with Quandela, we want to strengthen our internal capabilities, give our researchers access to advanced technologies and progressively identify applications that can create value for Vietnam’s economy and technology ecosystem,” he stated. FPT’s involvement extends beyond simply using the hardware; the company intends to actively contribute to the development of a comprehensive quantum infrastructure.
Since 2023, the company has focused on deploying industrial-grade quantum systems while simultaneously developing future generations of fault-tolerant computers designed to scale through the integration of thousands of photonic components, Quandela says. This dual strategy reflects a commitment to accessibility, aiming to address complex industrial and societal challenges with quantum solutions.
The company’s selection for the 2026 French Tech 2030 cohort, marking its third consecutive year in the program, highlights its position as a key player in the European quantum landscape. The collaboration is not limited to hardware and research. It also encompasses a broader vision for ecosystem development.
Establishing a robust quantum ecosystem requires far more than technological access. It demands research, expertise, infrastructure, and the capacity to align quantum computing with real-world applications. By joining forces with FPT, we are combining these key pillars to deliver impactful projects together in Vietnam.
