Vault Ventures Positioned to Benefit from Accelerating UK Quantum Investment and Announces Live Broadcast
Vault Ventures PLC (AQSE: VULT, OTCQB:VQESF), the technology development
company focused on post-quantum security infrastructure and secure
communications platforms, today comments on recent UK quantum investment
initiatives which reinforce the long-term market drivers underpinning the
Company's established strategic focus. The Company also announces a
forthcoming live investor and market broadcast.
Highlights
● UK Government announces up to £2 billion funding package aimed at
accelerating the commercial deployment of quantum technologies across
strategic sectors
● Increasing institutional focus on the secure implementation of
quantum-enabled systems is expected to drive demand for quantum-resilient
communications infrastructure
● Vault progressing £1.6 million development programme with
Whitespace Global Limited to build a proprietary post-quantum secure
communications platform aligned to emerging quantum networking priorities
● Strengthened strategic execution capability and market access
through targeted senior appointments and partnerships focused on regulated and
sovereign markets
● Live broadcast to be held at 10:00am (UK time) on 30 March 2026,
streamed via the Company's X account (https://x.com/vault_plc)
Recent UK Government initiatives, including the proposed ProQure procurement
programme, targeted funding for quantum networking (£125 million) and quantum
sensing and navigation (£205 million), as well as broader support for applied
quantum technologies across sectors such as finance, pharmaceuticals and
energy, are expected to accelerate adoption timelines for secure digital
infrastructure across regulated industries and national infrastructure
environments.
Vault's development roadmap is centred on application-layer post-quantum
cryptography and resilient communications architectures designed to support
the transition to quantum-resilient systems. As announced on 9 March 2026, the
Company is progressing a £1.6 million programme with Whitespace Global
Limited to design and engineer a proprietary post-quantum secure
communications platform focused on secure data transmission and
mission-critical communications use cases.
The Company has also strengthened its strategic execution capability through
targeted senior appointments and partnerships aimed at supporting engagement
with regulated enterprises and sovereign institutions where quantum-resilient
security requirements are expected to increase.
Vault will host a live investor and market broadcast at 10:00am (UK time) on
30 March 2026, streamed via the Company's X account (https://x.com/vault_plc)

The broadcast will feature participation from:
● Andy Stanford-Clark, IBM Distinguished Engineer and recognised
leader in advanced computing and distributed systems
● Andrew Webber, recently appointed as Strategic Adviser to Vault
Ventures
● Brian Stockbridge, Chairman of Vault Ventures
The broadcast will provide strategic context on the accelerating development
and deployment of quantum technologies, the associated security implications
for regulated industries and national infrastructure, and the commercial
opportunities emerging for providers of post-quantum infrastructure. It will
also explore broader market dynamics, including the relevance of recent UK
Government funding commitments, alongside Vault's positioning within this
evolving landscape.
Further details regarding the broadcast will be communicated in the coming
days.
Board Commentary
Brian Stockbridge, Chairman of Vault Ventures, said:
"The UK Government's quantum funding package represents an important
development for the sector and reinforces the structural market drivers
aligned with Vault's long-term strategic focus. We believe the pace of policy
support is increasing the urgency around quantum-resilient security adoption
across regulated markets. This is creating emerging opportunities in areas
such as collaboration initiatives, grant programmes, procurement pathways and
the broader commercial deployment of post-quantum communications
infrastructure. The Company is actively reviewing alignment with programmes
such as ProQure and related funding calls expected to be detailed by UK
Research and Innovation in the coming months."
The Company continues to monitor policy and market developments across the UK
and internationally and will provide further updates as appropriate.
