Founding Statement.
Across the world today, encrypted data is being intercepted and stored by actors who cannot yet read it. They are not deterred by that inability; they are counting on its end. The mathematics that protects global finance, government communication, and critical infrastructure carries a known expiry date, and the machines that will void it are being built openly, on published roadmaps, by the most capable organisations on earth. The United States has mandated full conversion of its national-security systems by 2033. The European Union, the United Kingdom, NATO, and Japan have set critical-infrastructure deadlines beginning in 2030, with full conversion required by 2035. What is intercepted today will be read tomorrow; what is signed today can be forged tomorrow. This is not a forecast. It is a published schedule.
The date on which today's public-key cryptography fails is unknowable. It is also beside the point: the migration takes years, long-lived data is exposed now, and supervisors have begun to ask for evidence. Preparedness under uncertainty is the only defensible posture — and it is measurable.
Europe is entering this decade at a decisive moment. Much of the continent's essential infrastructure — payments, grids, networks, registers, classified channels — depends on systems designed and operated elsewhere. The opportunity now is to bring those foundations home: to build the compute, the semiconductors, and the cryptography that a sovereign Europe will rely on for the next generation.
Sovereignty, in our definition, is not the flag on a brochure. It is control over operational dependencies: who holds the keys, who signs the updates, who can revoke access, under whose law data can be compelled, and who keeps systems running if a foreign vendor withdraws. By that measure, much of Europe's critical infrastructure is not sovereign today. Compute is won with electricity and semiconductors at scales no single region commands; trust is won with jurisdiction, certification, and operational control — and trust is the layer Europe can own.
We founded CHANDAL Quantum Group to build that foundation — in the German-speaking world first, and from there outward.
One vertical stack.
CHANDAL is a sovereign-technology group headquartered in Vienna, operating under European jurisdiction and governed where its clients are governed. We work in partnership with Chelpis Quantum Corporation of Taipei. Certified in America. Proven in Asia. Researched in Germany. Governed in Austria.
The stack is vertical and complete. We design, build, and operate sovereign AI data centres and GPU compute. We design secure semiconductor components. We build the physical systems layer — secure servers, cryptographic gateways, and network encryption appliances. We deploy the certified post-quantum cryptography that hardens every layer above the metal. And we execute national-scale programs from first inventory to final cutover.
Europe has no shortage of strategies, declarations, and working groups. What it lacks are functioning systems under its own control. We intend to supply them — one verified deployment at a time.
Europe's next foundations will be built by someone. That decision has been made in Vienna.
