Norway’s digital ecosystem is one of the most mature and trusted in Europe. The country is now entering an early but serious quantum-transition phase. The government has begun developing a national quantum technology strategy for publication in 2026, supported by the Research Council of Norway, Innovation Norway and the Norwegian National Security Authority (NSM). Investment is also increasing, including NOK 244 million awarded to four national quantum research centres. NSM’s

Cuba operates one of the most state‑controlled cybersecurity regimes in the Western Hemisphere. Its legal architecture is built on Decreto 360/2019, Decreto‑Ley 35/2021, and Resolution 105/2021, all of which focus on ICT security, cyberspace defence, telecom control, and mandatory incident reporting - none of which contain PQC migration, crypto‑agility, or quantum‑risk provisions. Government Posture: Strong Control, No Quantum Strategy Cuba’s cybersecurity model is centralise

The UAE is a high-maturity digital state with world-class infrastructure, aggressive AI adoption, and strong cybersecurity regulation. Recognizing its exposure as a global hub, the UAE moved decisively into action. In late November 2025, the UAE Cybersecurity Council approved the National Encryption Policy and Executive Regulation No. 71 of 2024, legally mandating Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) migration. Government Posture: Global Pioneer in Mandatory Migration The UAE's di

Colombia is in the early stage of PQC adoption. The country faces elevated quantum risk due to heavy reliance on classical cryptography across financial services, government platforms, and telecom networks. Movement has begun through digital signature reform and initial alignment with NIST standards, but Colombia has no national PQC roadmap yet. Government Posture: Digital Signature Reform Colombia’s digital signature law, Law 527 of 1999, is being updated to include post qua

Taiwan is advancing PQC through semiconductor security requirements, national defense modernization, and selective government upgrades. It does not publish loud quantum strategies, but it is quietly building one of the most security driven PQC environments in Asia due to geopolitical exposure and its central role in global chip supply chains. Government Posture: Security Driven PQC Adoption The Executive Yuan and National Science and Technology Council treat quantum risk as

India is emerging as Asia’s most assertive sovereign adopter of Post Quantum Cryptography. Under the National Quantum Mission and MeitY’s PQC Task Force, the country is driving a three phase migration plan backed by domestic testing and procurement requirements. PQC has moved from research into a core element of digital sovereignty and critical infrastructure security. Government Posture: NQM Steering and Indigenous Sovereignty DST, MeitY, C DOT, CERT In, and DSCI lead a dua

Singapore is Asia's most operationally advanced PQC adopter. With a unified strategy, live quantum safe networks, and proactive regulators, PQC has moved from theory to structured deployment. Government Posture: Centralised & Risk-Based Leadership: Strategy led jointly by CSA, National Quantum Office, MAS, and IMDA. Standards: PQC is the primary migration path, aligned with NIST FIPS 203, 204, and 205. Core Milestones: End 2025: CII operators must complete full crypto invento

South Korea is a global semiconductor and technology powerhouse. It does not have a CNSA style, economy wide crypto retirement deadline, but it does have a government backed PQC Master Plan, sector wide pilots, and a national playbook aimed at transforming the country’s cryptographic infrastructure by 2035. Industry is still moving faster than regulation, but the state is not passive. Korea is building a phased and coordinated PQC transition. Government Posture: Master Plan a
