Themes

Your project must address the challenge of a quantum enabled system integrator, or Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), relevant to quantum sensing or PNT, or address multiple cross platform challenges.

  • deliver an industrially relevant, deployable demonstration of the quantum enabled sensing system
  • demonstrate a practical and credible route to market by including a plan to commercialise the sensing solution
  • undertake the majority and critical project work in the UK
  • plan to further develop and exploit the solution within or from the UK

  • address challenges applicable to various technologies, quantum enabled sensing or PNT products, or application areas
  • bring a broad consortium from across the quantum sensing supply chain to deliver the project
  • address challenges such as advanced packaging and ruggedisation
  • demonstrate key component development, miniaturisation and improved efficiency, for example in fibre coupling

Eligibility

Your project must: have total grant funding request between £4 million and £6 million; last between 36 and 41 months; not start before 1 November 2026; end by 31 March 2030.

Any organisation receiving funding must carry out its project work in the UK, intend to exploit the results in the UK, and spend most of the funding within the UK.
