QSE SELECTED FOR GOVERNMENT OF CANADA QUANTUM TECHNOLOGY DELEGATION TO THE NETHERLANDS

Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. has been selected to participate in the Canadian Quantum Enabling Technologies Applied to Space Technology R&D Partnering Delegation to the Netherlands, taking place Sept. 14 to Sept. 18, 2026.

The delegation is organized by Global Affairs Canada, through the Embassy of Canada to the Netherlands, in collaboration with the National Quantum Strategy Secretariat at Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada. The program is designed to connect selected Canadian companies with Dutch organizations for commercialization-focused research, development, pilot projects and partnerships.

Quantum Secure believes its selection provides meaningful third party recognition of the relevance of its postquantum capabilities and the company's readiness to pursue international technology validation, adaptation and co-development. The company believes this recognition can strengthen its credibility with customers, partners, investors and public-sector stakeholders.

The five-day program is expected to include participation in the European Space Agency's Industry Space Days, prearranged business meetings, visits to quantum and space-related sites, and briefings across major Dutch innovation hubs. Quantum Secure also expects curated introductions to Dutch and European companies, research institutions, and innovation networks, including potential strategic partners, pilot customers, channel partners and R&D (research and development) collaborators.

For Quantum Secure, the main objective is market validation and relationship building. The company intends to discuss how its full secure posture (QPrime) platform and broader quantum-resilient data security technologies can help organizations see where encryption is used, understand exposure, plan postquantum migration and protect sensitive data.

Quantum Secure believes the Netherlands and the broader European market are important to its international growth strategy. The delegation is expected to help the company better understand European customer needs, procurement models and regulatory expectations before pursuing larger commercial opportunities in the region.

Quantum Secure also intends to explore joint innovation funding opportunities, including Canada-Europe R&D programs that may support collaborative testing, localization or co-development with qualified partners.

"Being selected for this government of Canada delegation is a meaningful validation of QSE as an innovative Canadian technology company with international potential," said Ted Carefoot, chief executive officer of Quantum Secure. "The program gives us direct access to the right ecosystem -- potential partners, pilot customers, channel partners, R&D collaborators and innovation networks -- as we evaluate how QSE can support European market needs."

The initiative also supports Quantum Secure's broader international expansion strategy, which is focused on placing its technology within trusted regional ecosystems through local validation, co-development and partner-led market entry.
