The University of Bristol is one of the partners in the SuperConnector project which will turn world-class quantum research into impactful solutions by creating a UK-wide community of entrepreneurs, investors, industry adopters and policymakers that will strengthen the UK’s vibrant quantum ecosystem.
The programme will deliver a national skills ‘centre’ - open to researchers from anywhere in the UK - to accelerate the adoption of quantum technologies, attract investment and enable growth.
Commenting on the launch of the UK Quantum SuperConnector, Professor Ruth Oulton, academic lead of the Quantum Technologies Innovation Centre at the University of Bristol, said: “The UK Quantum SuperConnector is an exciting opportunity to shape the next generation of quantum technology commercialisation, connecting world-class research with the expertise, investment and industry partnerships needed to turn breakthroughs into successful businesses.
“Bristol has led the way in quantum entrepreneurship through our Quantum Technology Enterprise Centre (QTEC) and through the SuperConnector, we can build on this success, taking Bristol’s expertise to a national and global stage. Our new Sloane Robinson Building, at the heart of the Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus, provides a hub for bringing researchers, businesses and investors together to accelerate innovation and unlock the commercial potential of quantum technologies.”
