Singapore announced last week that it plans to set aside $17.09 million to support national platforms under the Quantum Engineering Programme for up to 3.5 years. The program is part of the country’s Research, Innovation, and Enterprise plan set forth in 2020 that aims to ensure encryption technologies remain diligent in security efforts and able to withstand certain types of attacks, including brute force.

Local universities, research institutions, and other actors in the private sectors are involved in the organizations and will aid the government in its efforts.
