ABOUT
QUASAR-CREATE

QUASAR-CREATE is anchored by two long-standing Singapore–Germany research platforms: Fraunhofer Gesellschaft with Fraunhofer Singapore and its Fraunhofer-NTU Research Centre FSR@NTU, and TUM with TUMCREATE. Both institutions have built sustained local partnerships within Singapore’s research and quantum innovation ecosystem, combining German scientific and engineering excellence with Singapore’s strengths in translational research, public-sector collaboration and industry engagement. This shared institutional foundation enables QUASAR-CREATE to connect deep technical expertise with national priorities in quantum security, resilience and emerging technologies.

This partnership structure gives QUASAR-CREATE both scientific depth and practical reach. Fraunhofer Singapore with its research centre FSR@NTU provide a platform for applied research, technology transfer and collaboration with agencies, industry and universities in Singapore. TUM and TUMCREATE contribute engineering excellence and host the work on open and verifiable quantum-safe RISC-V processor platforms. NTU strengthens the programme through its capabilities in cybersecurity, hardware assurance, microelectronics, privacy-preserving technologies and evaluation infrastructures such as National Integrated Centre for Evaluation (NiCE). NUS and Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) bring internationally recognised and outstanding expertise in quantum optics, quantum cryptography, QKD systems and quantum information theory. Together, the partners create the institutional foundation needed to translate quantum security research into practical capabilities for Singapore, Germany and the wider international ecosystem.
