Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 17, 2026) - Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (CSE: QSE) (OTCQB: QSEGF) (FSE: VN80) ("QSE" or the "Company"), a post-quantum cybersecurity company focused on quantum-resilient data protection, identity security, secure storage and cryptographic migration readiness, is pleased to announce that it has been selected to participate in the Canadian Quantum Enabling Technologies Applied to Space Technology R&D Partnering Delegation to the Netherlands, taking place September 14 to 18, 2026.
The delegation is organized by Global Affairs Canada, through the Embassy of Canada to the Netherlands, in collaboration with the National Quantum Strategy Secretariat at Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada. The program is designed to connect selected Canadian companies with Dutch organizations for commercialization-focused research, development, pilot projects and partnerships.
QSE believes its selection provides meaningful third-party recognition of the relevance of its post-quantum capabilities and the Company's readiness to pursue international technology validation, adaptation and co-development. The Company believes this recognition can strengthen its credibility with customers, partners, investors and public-sector stakeholders.
The five-day program is expected to include participation in the European Space Agency's Industry Space Days, pre-arranged business meetings, visits to quantum and space-related sites, and briefings across major Dutch innovation hubs. QSE also expects curated introductions to Dutch and European companies, research institutions and innovation networks, including potential strategic partners, pilot customers, channel partners and R&D collaborators.
For QSE, the main objective is market validation and relationship building. The Company intends to discuss how its full secure posture ("QPrime") platform and broader quantum-resilient data security technologies can help organizations see where encryption is used, understand exposure, plan post-quantum migration and protect sensitive data.
QSE believes the Netherlands and the broader European market are important to its international growth strategy. The delegation is expected to help the Company better understand European customer needs, procurement models and regulatory expectations before pursuing larger commercial opportunities in the region.
QSE also intends to explore joint innovation funding opportunities, including Canada-Europe R&D programs that may support collaborative testing, localization or co-development with qualified partners.
