National Growth Fund money can facilitate a quantum silicon valley, says tech expert
In April, the Dutch caretaker government allocated the first €4 billion of funding for R&D, infrastructure and knowledge development through the National Growth Fund, a five-year, €20bn programme to boost sustainable economic growth.
A total of 10 projects were selected in the first round, half of which were R&D projects. Among these is the Quantum Delta NL consortium, which will get up to €615 million over the next seven years. Other public and private contributors are expected to add €3bn to the effort.
