QuantumConnect Launches in Abu Dhabi: UAE Unveils Quantum-Safe Encryption for a New Era

Abu Dhabi, UAE – September 2025:

In a bold move to secure its digital future, Abu Dhabi has launched QuantumConnect, a next-generation encryption solution designed to safeguard sensitive data in the emerging quantum era. The advanced platform was developed through a collaboration between the Technology Innovation Institute (TII), VentureOne, and e& (Etisalat).

QuantumConnect leverages Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), a cutting-edge technology that enables ultra-secure communication by using quantum mechanics to exchange encryption keys. Unlike traditional encryption methods, QKD offers protection even against future quantum computers capable of breaking today’s security protocols.

Built in the UAE, QuantumConnect is tailored to protect vital sectors such as finance, healthcare, and government, ensuring regulatory compliance, enhancing trust, and delivering future-proof data protection. Authorities say this innovation marks a significant leap in the region’s cybersecurity capabilities and reflects the UAE’s commitment to digital transformation and national resilience.

This is more than just a concept QuantumConnect makes quantum security real, placing the UAE at the forefront of secure communications technology globally.
