PORTO, Portugal & WILMINGTON, DE — Naoris Ventures outlined a new strategy to speed deployment of post-quantum cybersecurity technology across robotics, smart cities, energy, finance, defense and AI, as governments and industries brace for the risk that emerging quantum computers could break today’s encryption.
The announcement follows a coordinated European Commission roadmap requiring all EU member states to begin national post-quantum cryptography strategies by 2026, shift critical infrastructure to quantum-resistant encryption by 2030 and complete feasible migrations by 2035.
Naoris Ventures said its investment focus now centers on companies building systems capable of withstanding “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” attacks — a growing threat in which adversaries store encrypted data today with the expectation of decrypting it once quantum computing matures. The firm said the practice poses significant risk to data-intensive sectors including telecommunications, healthcare and financial services.
Naoris is backing decentralized, quantum-resistant encryption architectures designed to ensure that sensitive information harvested today remains secure in a post-quantum era. The company argued that proactive defense is essential because quantum-enabled decryption could retroactively expose decades of archived corporate records, financial transactions, medical data and personal communications.
The firm also highlighted a recent milestone: Naoris Protocol was cited in a research submission to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as a reference model for quantum-resistant blockchain infrastructure under the Post-Quantum Financial Infrastructure Framework. Naoris Ventures said the citation strengthens its role in shaping how financial systems prepare for quantum-era vulnerabilities.
“Naoris Ventures has a clear mandate to be the capital and coordination layer of a new global standard for digital trust,” said Regan Melin, managing partner of Naoris Ventures. “Today we are setting out our ambitious roadmap to scale secure and intelligent systems across critical industries such as robotics, smart cities, energy, finance, defense and AI systems. We are just getting started.”
Since launching its testnet in January, Naoris Protocol has processed more than 104 million post-quantum transactions, onboarded 3.3 million wallets and mitigated over 600 million cyber threats. The ecosystem now includes more than 1 million security nodes and 31 active development projects across finance, telecom, energy, defense and IoT.
Naoris Ventures said new partnerships, co-developed proofs-of-concept and additional industry initiatives will be announced in the coming weeks.
