The programme is aimed at businesses delivering quantum technology solutions, including:
- quantum networking and communication solutions

Quantum technology is a new and 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 third in the world for scientific citations in quantum research, and is 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 program, Quantum Delta, the Netherlands is investing over €615 million 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.
