**What it does not test.** Does not establish that the pilot line has produced a single quantum chip yet, only that the funded project has started.

**How this item counts.** Towards autonomy: it changes who made the parts. Binding 2 of 3 (agreed or funded), scale 3 of 3 (large), Verified counts in full: weight +6 of 36 possible. EU-funded pilot line across 11 states to localise quantum chip parts, not yet producing. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
