Quantum technology is poised to dramatically disrupt critical industries – chemistry, logistics, IoT, life sciences, health and cybersecurity, to name a few. Leading SMEs in complementary disciplines across the Netherlands are well-suited to playing a pivotal role in the quantum value chain – in software development, consultancy and material supply, equipment and electronics, and other disciplines.

The Quantum Delta NL SME programme is designed to connect 125 high-tech, multidisciplinary Dutch SMEs with the arenas of quantum technology where they’re needed most. 

The inspiration for the SME programme springs from best practices of Nano4Society and MinacNed, who also provide direct coordination of programme activities.

• Projects can comprise industrial or applied research (TRL2 2-4), and/or experimental development (TRL 5-8).

• Projects have a maximum duration of 4 years yet are ultimately limited by the programme deadline of December 31, 2028.

• Individual SME’s and/or public-private partnerships (PPP) can submit.

• Proposals can range between €500,000 and €2 million per project.

• The subsidy amounts to max. 2/3 of the eligible costs.
