Opportunity overview

This services requirement is to provide targeted support to early-stage quantum technology startups, facilitating their growth, scalability, and the commercialisation of their innovations. The programme will harness London's academic excellence, research and development (R&D) strengths, and established industry clusters to enable collaboration and the exchange of knowledge across sectors. It will also include community engagement activities aimed at increasing awareness of quantum technologies and promoting inclusivity within the sector. A key deliverable of this initiative will be the development of a robust investment case for the creation of a dedicated quantum technology incubator in the London Euston area, with the aim of securing funding for its establishment as a strategic outcome.
