Recently, a house of Quantum was opened, built to build the Quantum Technology stack and support quantum innovation in the Netherlands.
“This is the first call for proposals from Quantum Delta NL, organized by its Action Line 1 ‘Research and Innovation’ committee, in collaboration with NWO. This first round of awards I see as a great success. We managed to increase the budget, which allowed us to honor more of the high-quality proposals we received. I am very curious about the results that the researchers will achieve in the coming years with this financial boost.”

Quantum Delta NL is an organization that promotes the development of quantum technology in the Netherlands. It was established in 2018 as a collaboration between the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy, the Dutch Research Council (NWO), and the Dutch Innovation Factory (DIF). Quantum Delta NL works to stimulate the growth of the quantum technology industry in the Netherlands by providing funding, support, and expertise to researchers, startups, and businesses working in the field. It aims to position the Netherlands as a leading location for quantum technology research and development and create a robust ecosystem for developing and commercialising quantum technologies.
The National Growth Fund (Nationaal Groeifonds in Dutch) is a fund established by the Dutch government to support the growth and innovation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Netherlands. The fund provides financial support to SMEs through grants, loans, and equity investments. It is managed by the Dutch Innovation Factory (DIF), an organization that supports the development of innovative and sustainable businesses in the Netherlands. The National Growth Fund is one of several initiatives supported by the Dutch government to stimulate economic growth and innovation in the country. Its goal is to help SMEs grow and succeed by providing them with the financial resources and support they need to develop and bring new products, services, and technologies to market.
