Funding Opportunities
Quantum Australia helps connect organisations, researchers, startups and industry partners with relevant funding opportunities that can accelerate quantum innovation, collaboration and commercialisation.
As Australia’s national centre for quantum growth, we work across the ecosystem to identify grants, programs and funding pathways that support research translation, industry adoption, capability building and commercial outcomes.
Whether you are an early-stage startup, a research team, a university, an established business or an industry end user exploring quantum, there may be funding available to support your next project.
Horizon Europe
Horizon Europe is the European Union’s flagship research and innovation program, worth approximately A$155 billion (€95.5 billion). It supports large-scale international collaboration addressing global challenges and strengthening industrial competitiveness.
This will create significant opportunities for Australia’s quantum community to:
access funding for collaborative research and innovation projects
lead international projects and build consortia
partner with leading European researchers, companies and industry end users
access global research infrastructure through funded projects
retain intellectual property, capability and talent in Australia.
How Quantum Australia can support the ecosystem
Quantum Australia will support the Australian quantum community to build the international relationships needed to pursue Horizon Europe opportunities. We will:
Leverage our international network to introduce Australian researchers and companies to potential industry and research partners in Europe, supporting the formation of consortia to address Horizon Europe funding calls
Promote Australian quantum capability and expertise to European partners to encourage collaboration with Australian researchers and industry
Organise opportunities for face-to-face engagement to strengthen relationships and explore broader collaboration opportunities. This will include hosting delegations from European quantum sectors around the Quantum Australia Conference and organising Australian delegations to key European events to engage major end users, investors and research collaborators.
