Explore the range of funding opportunities for quantum computing from the NQCC and our partners.
The NQCC works with partners across industry, government and the research community to solve technology challenges and realise the benefits of quantum computers for social and economic development.
We participate in collaborative R&D projects with UK businesses and research groups, and commission external projects to support the growth of the UK’s technology supply chain. Through our SparQ programme we engage with research institutions, companies, and government organisations to explore the potential of emerging quantum computers for tackling real-world applications.
