The Quantum Delta NL programme, fully endorsed by the National Growth Fund initiative and enabled by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy, comprises an SME programme with the aim of connecting 125 high-tech SMEs in the Netherlands to quantum technology in the next seven years. The programme is inspired by best practices from NanoNextNL and MinacNed, who will fulfil a coordinating role.
A budget of € 5 million per year is available in the form of grants, intended for R&D projects geared towards developing products and services that serve the quantum technology roadmaps directly, or enable derivative products in the value chain. This will allow SMEs to play a role in the quantum technology roadmaps at the national level but also at the European level.
Proposals can range between €500,000 and €2 million per project, and can be submitted by an individual company or on behalf of a consortium; a private or public-private partnership (PPP).The subsidy comprises max. 2/3 1of the total project amount. The reminder is contributed by applicant(s), either in cash and/or in-kind.
