Quantum technologies are designated as one of 10 national strategic technology fields, with 60 trillion won earmarked for 55 technologies across those fields. The plan also targets AI infrastructure expansion, 6G development, semiconductor clusters, and regional R&D special zones. A mission-oriented research model will replace the previous project-based funding system, potentially benefiting long-horizon fields like quantum computing, secure communications, and quantum sensing. No quantum-specific budget figure was disclosed, but the inclusion signals a long-term national security and economic commitment to the field. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
