Quantum Technologies grants

UK and EU funding across computing, sensing and communications

Quantum is a national priority with money behind it. Innovate UK, EPSRC and Horizon Europe all fund it, and the National Quantum Strategy keeps the pipeline open. The difficulty is credibility: assessors are practising physicists who spot overclaiming instantly. Our writers speak the language.

Programmes that fit quantum technologies companies

01

Innovate UK Quantum CR&D

Quantum computing hardware, software stack, sensing and networking, including scaling quantum computing hardware calls.

02

EIC Pathfinder

Early-stage, high-risk quantum information science tied to frontier research priorities.

03

ESA quantum & digitalisation calls

What assessors actually score

  • Honest coherence, fidelity and error-rate targets with measured baselines
  • A clear boundary between what is demonstrated and what is projected
  • A commercialisation story that does not depend on fault tolerance arriving first
