The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council has added £3 million to an Innovate UK fund for collaborative research into the feasibility of quantum technologies, bringing total funding for the latest call to £9m.
That initiative aims to enable UK businesses to grow the quantum industry, which is already valued at £1 billion, according to an Innovate UK announcement on 28 July.
The call is seeking collaborative feasibility studies from researchers and businesses seeking to improve understanding of the technical capabilities of quantum technologies, and the market for these products or services.
