CHANDAL Quantum Group Launches to Support Europe's Quantum Transition.
CHANDAL Quantum Group launches as an Austrian-Taiwanese joint venture delivering quantum-safe infrastructure and trusted AI technologies across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland).
VIENNA, Austria — CHANDAL Quantum Group today announced its launch as a Vienna-headquartered quantum infrastructure company established through an Austrian-Taiwanese joint venture. Serving as CHELPIS Quantum Corporation's exclusive regional operating entity across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, CHANDAL delivers quantum-safe cybersecurity, AI infrastructure, and sovereign technology solutions to governments, operators of critical infrastructure, and highly regulated industries preparing for the transition to the post-quantum era.
Established by Vienna-based ANDIAL Quantum Systems and Taiwan's CHELPIS Quantum Corporation, CHANDAL Quantum Group combines expertise in Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), trusted computing, AI infrastructure, and sovereign digital technologies under a single regional organization. The company's exclusive mandate covers the German-speaking market, providing enterprises and public-sector organizations with access to technologies designed to help secure critical digital infrastructure against emerging quantum threats.
The launch comes at a pivotal moment for Europe's digital transformation. While artificial intelligence continues to dominate investment and policy discussions, governments and enterprises are facing a parallel challenge: ensuring that the digital infrastructure supporting AI, communications, and critical services remains secure in the age of quantum computing. For organizations responsible for protecting information that must remain confidential for decades, quantum-safe migration has shifted from a long-term consideration to an immediate strategic priority.
The urgency extends beyond future breakthroughs. Cybersecurity experts have long warned of "harvest now, decrypt later" (HNDL) attacks, in which encrypted data is intercepted today and stored until advances in quantum computing make conventional encryption vulnerable. A parallel threat is "trust now, forge later" (TNFL), where adversaries capture legacy cryptographic signatures today to forge identities, software updates, or legal records in the future. At the same time, the global technology industry has accelerated its transition toward post-quantum security. Google's Willow quantum processor underscored recent advances in quantum computing, IBM has outlined plans for a large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computer before the end of the decade, and leading technology providers have begun adopting quantum-resistant cryptography across their own platforms. Together, these developments signal that the transition to post-quantum security is no longer theoretical, reshaping how governments and enterprises approach long-term cyber resilience.
Europe's regulatory landscape is reinforcing that urgency. Across the European Union (EU), organizations operating critical infrastructure, along with financial institutions and healthcare providers, are expected to begin transitioning toward PQC as cybersecurity regulations continue to evolve. Rather than viewing quantum readiness as a future technology initiative, many organizations now recognize it as a foundational investment that will influence every layer of digital infrastructure, from encryption and communications to AI, data centers, connected devices, and autonomous systems.
CHANDAL Quantum Group enters the market with a technology portfolio that extends well beyond Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). Through its exclusive regional mandate, the company provides governments and enterprises with an integrated technology stack spanning cybersecurity, trusted computing, AI infrastructure, and sovereign digital technologies, enabling organizations to modernize securely for the quantum era.
The portfolio covers the full lifecycle of quantum-safe security, from automated cryptographic asset discovery and migration planning to certified cryptographic libraries, secure communications, and data protection. It also includes trusted computing technologies, quantum-safe processors, AI accelerators, hardware root-of-trust technologies, sovereign AI data center solutions, and security platforms for robotics and autonomous systems. Rather than delivering individual products, CHANDAL provides the foundational technologies required to build resilient, future-ready digital infrastructure.
CHELPIS' PQC technologies utilize algorithms standardized by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) while delivering significantly higher performance than widely adopted open-source reference implementations. Because the technologies are not subject to foreign export restrictions, they can be deployed within European legal and operational frameworks, giving governments and critical industries greater control over their long-term cybersecurity strategies.
CHELPIS also contributes a growing portfolio of internationally recognized technologies and strategic collaborations. The company is a member of the Post-Quantum Cryptography Coalition (PQCC), participates in research initiatives associated with Germany's Cyber Agency, and has deployed its technologies in large-scale government and critical infrastructure programs, including a military data center project in Taiwan.
"Europe is entering a defining decade for quantum security. World-class technology alone is no longer enough. Customers need trusted local execution, long-term commitment, and technology partners capable of delivering both innovation and sovereignty. That's why we created CHANDAL."
CHANDAL Quantum Group was established with a long-term mission: strengthening Europe's digital sovereignty through trusted, quantum-ready infrastructure. As governments and enterprises reassess technology supply chains and long-term cyber resilience, cybersecurity is no longer measured solely by technical capability, but also by where technologies are governed, how they are deployed, and under which legal jurisdiction they operate.
Rather than expanding through a conventional overseas subsidiary, CHELPIS and ANDIAL established CHANDAL as a jointly governed European company designed specifically to meet the region's legal, operational, and sovereignty requirements.
Vienna was chosen not only for its strategic location, but also for the legal certainty, political stability, and trusted business environment it offers as a gateway to the DACH region. The DACH region is one of the world's most advanced industrial ecosystems, spanning manufacturing, financial services, healthcare, public infrastructure, and industrial innovation, where demand for secure and compliant digital technologies continues to grow.
CHANDAL's corporate structure reflects the same philosophy. The joint venture is majority Austrian-owned, with governance, management, and legal jurisdiction established in Vienna while maintaining exclusive access to CHELPIS' advanced technology portfolio. This approach allows customers to adopt proven technologies while maintaining European oversight, regulatory alignment, and operational control.
For organizations building long-term digital resilience, technology sovereignty is increasingly becoming a business requirement rather than a political aspiration. CHANDAL was created to offer an alternative, combining global innovation with regional governance, local execution, and long-term partnership.
"Europe doesn't need another technology vendor. It needs trusted long-term technology partners who understand its regulatory environment, industrial priorities, and long-term commitment to digital sovereignty. That is the role CHANDAL was created to fulfill."
The DACH region was selected as CHANDAL's initial market because it is home to one of Europe's highest concentrations of industrial innovation, critical infrastructure, and highly regulated industries, making it an ideal environment for the adoption of quantum-safe technologies.
CHANDAL Quantum Group will initially focus on supporting organizations whose digital infrastructure must remain secure, resilient, and operational for decades. Priority sectors include government, defense, financial services, healthcare, telecommunications, energy, advanced manufacturing, and operators of critical infrastructure, where the transition to quantum-safe security is expected to become both a regulatory and operational requirement over the coming years.
Beyond technology deployment, the company will provide strategic guidance throughout the quantum transition, helping organizations assess cryptographic risk, develop migration roadmaps, modernize security architectures, and integrate quantum-safe capabilities into broader digital transformation initiatives. By combining regional expertise with globally proven technologies, CHANDAL aims to reduce the complexity of adopting next-generation cybersecurity and AI infrastructure.
The company also plans to expand collaborations with governments, research institutions, system integrators, and industry partners to accelerate quantum readiness across the DACH market. As Europe continues investing in secure AI, trusted computing, and sovereign digital infrastructure, CHANDAL intends to serve as a long-term technology partner supporting both public- and private-sector modernization.
"The transition to quantum-safe infrastructure is no longer a question of if, but when. CHANDAL was established to help governments and enterprises navigate that transition with trusted technologies, regional expertise, and a long-term commitment to Europe's next generation of digital infrastructure."
