Quantum technologies will reshape how we deal with information, throughout the whole chain: acquiring, transmitting, and processing, and space technologies are well positioned both to benefit from and to support this. The European Space Agency acknowledges this strategic priority with a series of coordinated activities and instruments and facilitating the right partnerships. The steppingstones are realizable and valuable use cases in close collaboration with industry and academia, ensuring space technologies are part of this evolution.
