Quantum Computing in Portugal: Navigating the 2026 Regulatory Frontier
17/04/2026
Quantum tech is no longer just research but a strategic EU pillar. MFA Legal & Tech has authored the Portugal chapter for the inaugural Global Legal Insights (GLI) Special Report: Quantum Computing 2026.
In this global analysis, Jorge Silva Martins and Leonor Gambôa Machado join forces with leading international firms including Bird & Bird, Skadden, and Baker McKenzie to map out the legal complexities of the quantum revolution.
Portugal is navigating a pivotal shift driven by:
- Deep European integration (EuroQCI & PTQCI)
- The urgent transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)
- Strict new export and IP frameworks
As the EU Quantum Act approaches, balancing academic openness with legal rigor is key to staying competitive.
