Now is seems in later 2022, Australia is making a serious commitment to do the same.

On August 31st, 2022 the Tech Council of Australia (TCA) announced the formation of the Australian Quantum Alliance (AQA) to promote the voice of Australia’s quantum industry. 

As Quantum Insider points out, according to a Tech Council of Australia LinkedIn post published this week, the research is incredibly important to help identify where Australia has a global comparative advantage in the tech sector and how the Council can strengthen it.
