Deep & Emerging TechG+D Develops Quantum-Safe Technologies for Next-Generation Identity Cards
Quantum-safe identity cards in an EU-backed project move post-quantum crypto from whitepapers into citizen infrastructure. If your product touches government IDs, payments, or SIM/eSIM, you should be mapping where classical public-key crypto sits in your stack and when PQC migrations will hit your integration points.

A breach at a genetics testing firm is a worst-case combo—highly sensitive health and genomic data with long-term consequences for patients. If you handle medical or genomic information, treat security as core product risk, not IT overhead, and pressure every vendor in your chain on their breach posture.
Deep & Emerging TechKensho and Classiq Partner to Expand Quantum Software Access in Taiwan
Expanding Classiq’s quantum software into Taiwan via Kensho’s network is another step in regionalizing quantum ecosystems—talent and early apps will cluster where tools are accessible. If you’re in semis or advanced manufacturing in Taiwan, it’s time to assign someone to track quantum use cases that could touch your design or optimization workflows.
