Enabling Technologies for Resilient R&D Supply Chains in Quantum Technologies
Funds German consortia building enabling tech for quantum computing and sensing.
Enabling Technologies for Resilient R&D Supply Chains in Quantum Technologies is a Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) call that funds German consortia building enabling technology for quantum computing and quantum sensing, such as optics, cryogenics, electronics and vacuum technology. Applicants must form a multi-partner consortium that includes at least one system-integrat…
The call backs pre-competitive R&D projects that build or significantly improve enabling technologies for quantum computing and quantum sensing, covering areas like optics, cryogenics, electronics, and vacuum technology. It also targets geopolitical supply-chain risk, pushing for scalable, reliable, economically viable device technology usable in Germany, the EEA, or Switzerland, and specifically encourages companies new to the quantum sector to join a research consortium.
