New GBIP in The Netherlands - Quantum Technology

Innovate UK invites companies with expertise in delivering quantum technology solutions to join a Global Business Innovation Programme in The Netherlands.

Innovate UK is looking for businesses that focus on delivering quantum technology solutions including:

• Industrial products, processes or services to advance scalable solutions such as chip scale quantum, photonic and optoelectronic systems for applied quantum technologies
• Technologies (such as qubit processor, networking, switching or control systems) for scaling quantum computers
• Commercial hybrid quantum – classical software applications and services
• Quantum networking and communication solutions
• Quantum technology is a ground-breaking technology that can offer disruptive solutions to a variety of unsolved problems.

Why The Netherlands?

The Netherlands has world-leading strengths and advanced facilities in quantum technologies, is the third in the world for scientific citations in quantum research, and is the second for investments in quantum technology per capita.

In 2023, the Netherlands and the UK signed a memorandum of understanding, pledging to further intensify cooperation in quantum technologies. Through its flagship programme Quantum Delta, the Netherlands is investing over €615m in the development of its quantum technologies ecosystem, ranging from strong research hubs to international active start and scale-ups.

Its complementary supply chain and research strengths in photonics, semiconductor and quantum tech are required for the growing quantum tech industry in the UK.
