Innovate UK, in collaboration with the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, invites registrations for their commercialisation of quantum technologies – collaborative research and development. This competition aims to support challenge-led collaborative R&D projects in quantum technologies. Projects that produce prototype devices and demonstrators are to be funded. Projects that focus on the following areas are particularly welcomed:
•quantum sensors;
•quantum enhanced imaging;
•quantum information technologies;
•quantum communications.
Projects may include work packages that either develop core component technologies within these systems or enable understanding of key market applications or customers.
UK based businesses working in collaboration with other businesses, research bases or the third sector are eligible to apply. The projects are expected to be carried out in the UK.
Project costs are expected to range between £250,000 and £500,000, with the maximum total project size being £2.2 million, and last up to two years.
