The aim of this competition is to encourage the commercialisation of quantum technologies. It will help businesses and research organisations undertaking commercialisation, research or development projects in this area to develop new markets and technologies. Projects should range in size from total project costs of £40,000 to £500,000. We may consider projects outside this range but you should contact us at least 10 days before the submission deadline to discuss further. Projects should last between 3 months and 1 year. We will not accept projects outside of this range. You must be collaborative. A UK business or research and technology organisation may lead the project. 糖心TVes may take part in no more than 3 projects in this competition. You can apply twice with the same project to any competition, that means one re-submission only. If in the judgement of the Innovation Lead your project is not ‘materially different’ from your previous project, it will be deemed a re-submission. |
