National Programs
Quantum Australia delivers a coordinated suite of national programs to accelerate quantum industry growth, drive collaboration, and unlock commercial and societal impact. Each program targets a critical area of Australia’s quantum innovation ecosystem, ensuring a connected, globally competitive, and resilient industry.
Ecosystem
Connecting the national quantum community
The Ecosystem Development Program fosters connections and collaboration across Australia’s quantum landscape, linking researchers, startups, government, industry, and investors. We deliver events, briefings, and outreach programs that builds national awareness, strengthen relationships and shares knowledge.
Partnerships
Building strategic bridges
Through the Partnerships Program, we work closely with industry, government, and research institutions to identify opportunities where quantum technologies can address real-world problems. We support end-user engagement, develop case studies to increase industry adoption across key sectors such as defence, healthcare, energy, and finance, and facilitate conversations that lead to co-investment and collaborative pilots.
New Ventures
Backing Australian startups
The New Ventures Program supports the creation and growth of quantum startups across Australia. From mentoring and coaching to access to networks and capital, we help innovators navigate the path from discovery to deployment. Programs like NewQ (founder coaching) and NextQ (venture building) are designed to unlock entrepreneurial talent and build scalable, globally relevant quantum businesses.
