Announced during the Vietnam–France Leaders Forum, in presence of Vietnamese President Tô Lâm and French President Emmanuel Macron, the agreement combines Quandela’s full-stack photonic quantum computing platform with Quanova’s local integration capabilities to develop talent, infrastructure and concrete quantum use cases in Vietnam.
Paris, 11 September 2026 – Quandela, a European leader in photonic quantum computing, and Quanova, a Vietnamese quantum technology and ecosystem development company, announce the signing of a strategic partnership agreement aimed at supporting the long-term development of quantum computing capabilities in Vietnam.
The agreement was formalized during the Vietnam–France Leaders Forum, held in the presence of French President Emmanuel Macron and General Secretary and President of Vietnam Tô Lâm as part of his official visit to France.
Under the agreement, Quanova will act as a strategic integrator for Quandela in the Vietnamese market. The two companies will work together to promote, develop and commercialize solutions based on Quandela’s photonic quantum computing technology.
Their collaboration will include the training of Quanova’s technical and commercial teams, the development of joint offerings, customer engagement and demonstrations, and the identification of relevant use cases with Vietnamese universities, research organizations and businesses.
“Vietnam is emerging as one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic quantum ecosystems. Our ambition is to help turn this momentum into lasting capabilities: trained talent, access to photonic quantum computing and concrete projects for universities, research institutions and businesses,” said Niccolo Somaschi, co-founder and CEO of Quandela. “Quanova’s strong local roots and expertise as a strategic integrator make it the right partner to build this bridge with us.”
The agreement builds on several initiatives already undertaken by Quandela and its Vietnamese partners. With Quanova and other local stakeholders, Quandela recently supported a quantum hackathon organised by VNQuantum and the province of Gia Lai, focused on applications connected to Vietnam’s development priorities.
One of the first concrete initiatives supported by the partnership with Quanova is the quantum technology training programme at Quang Trung University, backed by Nam A Bank as a strategic investor. The programme aims to train students and researchers while expanding their access to quantum computing capabilities.
“Vietnam’s opportunity in quantum will be built through real capabilities: trained teams, access to world-class platforms and projects connected to local needs,” said Nguyen Hoang Hong Nhung, CEO of Quanova. “Working with Quandela will help Vietnamese organizations move from initial exploration to concrete applications, while strengthening the national ecosystem for the long term.”
The two companies also share the ambition of preparing for the future deployment of a photonic quantum computer in Vietnam. Their approach is based on ensuring that any future infrastructure is supported by the skills, software and local ecosystem required to use it effectively and create long-term value.
The agreement signed in Paris provides a framework for developing joint offerings and new opportunities with Vietnamese stakeholders. Quandela and Quanova expect to announce further concrete steps in the coming months.
