A share of up to £47m is available for projects which will accelerate the commercialisation of quantum technologies in the UK, increase private sector investment and deliver transformative applications across a range of industry sectors. The competition welcomes industry-led consortia addressing either of the following streams:

• Collaborative R&D projects aiming to deliver quantum technology products or services addressing user-defined industrial challenges
• Technology projects to remove shared technical barriers for the benefit of the UK’s growing quantum industry

Projects will be between £2m and £20m in size, with a grant of up to £10m available.
