  Quantum technologies (QT) promise to change the landscape of technologies
disruptively in diverse industries. For this reason, many nations around the
globe are investing to emerge within the global quantum ecosystem through
initiating national programs and international partnerships. Nonetheless, some
other countries are still running behind and yet their governments need to take
series actions to help their private and public sectors adapt to the looming
changes, considering the new regulations required and the huge influence that
QT will present in the near future. In this opinion piece, we provide, for the
best of our knowledge, the first generally applicable, yet comprehensive and
brief, framework for leveraging the emerging quantum technologies to facilitate
the establishment of national initiatives properly. The insights presented in
this article were driven based on investigating various approaches,
initiatives, and roadmaps adopted globally and meeting with local and regional
leaders, professionals, and governmental officials. Furthermore, taken into
account socioeconomic and institutional dimensions of the Libyan society, we
project the framework for the Libyan nation. This opinion piece is intended to
inspire researchers, technical industrial experts, stakeholders, and
governmental bodies to find roles they need to play to bring QT forward.
