Description
This call for proposals invites European quantum computing startups to develop quantum computing solutions with a clear market perspective.
The action is implemented in two phases: In the first phase (Phase 1) European start-ups are invited to prepare a technical and financial roadmap that demonstrates the potential of their quantum computing solution and provide physical proofs of principle or preliminary prototypes.
At the end of Phase 1 the output of the startups will be evaluated and the start-ups successfully passing the technical and financial evaluation will be eligible to participate in the second phase (Phase 2, not subject to this call) and submit a proposal to the European Investment Bank (EIB) for financing in connection with the full maturation of the proposed quantum computing solution.
The objective of Phase 2 is achieving technological maturity and market readiness in alignment with InvestEU’s objectives of fostering innovation, competitiveness, and sustainable growth in strategic sectors.
