Etihad Salam Joins Saudi Arabia Quantum Network Consortium to Advance Quantum-Secure Communication<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Etihad Salam<\/a><\/strong>, a leading provider of secure digital infrastructure and advanced communication technologies, today joined the Saudi Arabia Quantum Network Consortium (SQNC)\u2014a pioneering initiative led by King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) through its Saudi Research & Innovation Network, MAEEN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SQNC brings together a powerful coalition of global and regional technology leaders\u2014including Microsoft, CISCO, and Cyberani\u2014to accelerate the development of quantum-secure communication networks across the Kingdom. This strategic collaboration spans expertise in software, network hardware, connectivity, and cybersecurity, laying the foundation for a resilient and quantum-safe digital future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur partnership with the Saudi Quantum Network Consortium marks a transformative step in realizing the Kingdom\u2019s quantum ambitions,\u201d said Ahmed al Anqari, CEO of Etihad Salam. \u201cBy harnessing the combined strengths of global innovators and national institutions, we are building the infrastructure that will secure Saudi Arabia\u2019s digital sovereignty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This initiative is a direct embodiment of Saudi Vision 2030, which calls for technological leadership, economic diversification, and the development of a knowledge-based society. By fostering collaboration across academia, industry, and government, SQNC is transforming Saudi Arabia from a nascent quantum landscape into a mature ecosystem\u2014attracting talent, driving innovation, and catalyzing regional and global partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an active partner, Etihad Salam will contribute to the consortium\u2019s mandate to catalyze and incubate innovation across Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), advanced encryption protocols, and the development of a quantum communications infrastructure. These efforts are critical to protecting sensitive data, enabling trusted connectivity, and future-proofing national infrastructure against emerging quantum threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe global quantum communication market is projected to reach $15 billion by 2035, underscoring the urgency and value of early investment. Through SQNC, Saudi Arabia is proactively investing in post-quantum cryptography and quantum-safe networks, ensuring its readiness to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving digital landscape,\u201d added Al-Anqari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
