"The UK Government has announced more than £14 million in new funding to accelerate the commercial use of quantum technology across healthcare, defence, transport and energy, in a move it says will help power Britain's next industrial revolution. The investment, unveiled on Friday at the National Quantum Technologies Showcase in London, marks a major milestone in the country's National Quantum Technologies Programme - part of its wider plan to translate cutting-edge science into real-world applications that drive economic growth."
"Science Minister Lord Vallance said the investment would help cement Britain's position as a global leader in this field. "Quantum technologies are changing the world - from ultra-sensitive sensors that help diagnose diseases, to computers capable of performing calculations in seconds that would take decades today," he said. "The UK already has considerable strengths and a vibrant community of companies leading this exciting new sector. Today's funding and international partnerships will help support that growth right across the country.""
The UK government announced more than £14 million to accelerate commercial use of quantum technology across healthcare, defence, transport and energy. The funding will support 14 projects through Innovate UK's Quantum Sensing Mission Primer awards to turn research breakthroughs into market-ready solutions, including portable and affordable hospital eye scanners, quantum sensors to detect buried structures without excavation, and ultra-sensitive diagnostic tools for earlier, more accurate disease detection. The investment is presented as a major milestone in the National Quantum Technologies Programme to translate cutting-edge science into real-world applications that drive economic growth. International partnerships include a Memorandum of Understanding with Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology for joint research and talent exchanges, plus a £300,000 investment to relaunch the Scotland-California quantum and photonics partnership.
