Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) / Paris (France), 22 October 2026 – Quandela, a European leader in photonic quantum computing, announces a major milestone in its expansion in Southeast Asia. Quanova, a Vietnamese quantum company, has selected Quandela’s MosaiQ solution as the foundation of a new quantum research, innovation, service and entrepreneurship (quantum-RISE) program at Quang Trung University (QTU) in Quy Nhơn, Gia Lai. The project marks the first France–Vietnam collaboration in quantum computing and will lead to the deployment of Vietnam’s first quantum computer, with the support of Nam A Bank.
Vietnam’s first quantum computer at the heart of a strategic education and research program
This long-term partnership, developed with Quanova, Quandela’s strategic local partner in Vietnam, will provide Quang Trung University with a comprehensive platform for education, research and innovation. Nam A Bank is supporting the initiative as part of its commitment to advanced technologies. 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.” The program includes:
Deployment of the MosaiQ photonic quantum computer;
Faculty training and development of dedicated curricula;
Provision of the software suite and support for the creation of a Quantum Experience Center and launch of the Quantum Innovator Residency Program;
Organization of technology events and hackathons.
A landmark France–Vietnam quantum collaboration
The project builds on the strategic agreement signed by Quandela and Quanova in Paris during the France–Vietnam Leaders Forum, in the presence of General Secretary President Tô Lâm and French President Emmanuel Macron. It is the first France–Vietnam collaboration dedicated to quantum computing and reflects the growing technological cooperation between the two countries.
For Marine Xech-Gaspa, Director of Institutional Affairs & Public Policy at Quandela, the announcement shows how quickly the partnership is translating into concrete action: “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.”
Officialized in Ho Chi Minh City
The partnership and the deployment project were officially announced in Ho Chi Minh City on the evening of 21 October 2026, in the presence of representatives of the Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (C4IR).
Welcoming the announcement, Étienne Ranaivoson, Consul General of France in Ho Chi Minh City, said: “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.”
The event highlighted the shared commitment of French and Vietnamese partners to develop sovereign capabilities in quantum technologies, education and research.
Building long-term quantum capacity in Vietnam
Beyond the installation of MosaiQ, the partnership is designed to build lasting local expertise. The Quantum Innovator Residency Program will bring together students, researchers, educators and technology innovators around practical uses of quantum computing, while faculty training, dedicated curricula and access to Quandela’s software environment will support the emergence of a new generation of quantum talent in Vietnam.
Rossy Nguyen Hoang Hong Nhung, CEO of Quanova, summarized the partnership approach: “To co-create new technologies, we must first build trusted partnerships and train the next generation. That is why we are developing the Quantum Innovator Residency Program with Quandela, Quang Trung University and Nam A Bank.”
