Quanova, a Vietnamese quantum company, has selected France-based Quandela’s MosaiQ solution as the foundation of a new quantum research, innovation, service and entrepreneurship (quantum-RISE) program at Quang Trung University (QTU) in Quy Nhơn, Gia Lai.
The project marks the first France–Vietnam collaboration in quantum computing and will lead to the deployment of Vietnam’s first quantum computer, with the support of Nam A Bank.
This long-term partnership, developed with Quanova, Quandela’s strategic local partner in Vietnam, will provide Quang Trung University with a comprehensive platform for education, research and innovation.
“Nam A Bank invests in core technologies, including quantum technology, to help build high-tech capabilities in Vietnam through strong and effective cooperation with French organizations,” said Võ Hoàng Hải, deputy CEO of Nam A Bank.
The program includes deployment of the MosaiQ photonic quantum computer; faculty training and development of dedicated curricula; provision of the software suite and support for the creation of a Quantum Experience Center and launch of the Quantum Innovator Residency Program; and organization of technology events and hackathons.
The project builds on the strategic agreement signed by Quandela and Quanova in Paris during the France–Vietnam Leaders Forum, in the presence of General Secretary President Tô Lâm and French President Emmanuel Macron.
This is the first France–Vietnam collaboration dedicated to quantum computing and reflects the growing technological cooperation between the two countries.
Marine Xech-Gaspa, director of Institutional Affairs & Public Policy at Quandela, said the announcement shows how quickly the partnership is translating into concrete action.
“Together, we are laying the foundations for a lasting quantum ecosystem that will support education, research and innovation in Vietnam,” said Xech-Gaspa.
The partnership and the deployment project were officially announced in Ho Chi Minh City last 21 October 2026, in the presence of representatives of the Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (C4IR).
“As part of the first French delegation dedicated to quantum technologies in Vietnam, I welcome Quandela’s commitment, which is enabling Vietnam to acquire its first quantum computer—a symbol of the trust uniting our two countries in the technologies of the future,” said Étienne Ranaivoson, Consul General of France in Ho Chi Minh City.
Beyond the installation of MosaiQ, the partnership is designed to build lasting local expertise. The Quantum Innovator Residency Program will bring together students, researchers, educators and technology innovators around practical uses of quantum computing, while faculty training, dedicated curricula and access to Quandela’s software environment will support the emergence of a new generation of quantum talent in Vietnam.
“To co-create new technologies, we must first build trusted partnerships and train the next generation. That is why we are developing the Quantum Innovator Residency Program with Quandela, Quang Trung University and Nam A Bank,” said Rossy Nguyen Hoang Hong Nhung, CEO of Quanova.
