Following the government's announcement the previous day about launching the Quantum Strategy Committee and its plan to become a leading country in the quantum economy by 2035, it is interpreted that buying pressure has increased. The overnight surge of quantum computer-related stocks such as IonQ (16.68%) and Rigetti Computing (11.18%) in the U.S. stock market also had a positive effect.
The government plans to actively promote the quantum science and technology nurturing plan 'Quantum Initiative,' announced last year, through the Quantum Strategy Committee. The Quantum Strategy Committee is the highest policy deliberation and decision-making body in the quantum field, chaired by the Prime Minister. Seven ministers from relevant departments, including the Minister of Science and ICT as the vice-chairperson, will serve as ex officio commissioners, along with 11 experts from academia and industry in the quantum field acting as private commissioners.
Hana Financial Investment published a report on this day, selecting quantum computers as the 'theme of the day.' They presented related stocks such as Woori Technology, KOREA ADVANCED MATERIALS, QSI, AXGATE, Coweaver, and WOORIRO.
