Competition overview
ProQure is UK Government’s dedicated programme to identify, grow and deploy world leading quantum computing capabilities to drive economic growth and social impact in the UK.
This competition is the first phase of a wider, multi‑phase programme to support the development of UK quantum computing. The programme’s early phases will help inform a future public procurement of large-scale quantum computers beyond 2030, with an available budget of up to £1 billion.
In this competition, organisations can apply for up to £14 million each to develop, build and validate integrated hardware and software solutions.
The key aims of this phase 1 competition are to:
- validate technologies and architectures to scale performance of the current state of the art quantum computers
- deploy operational testbeds for independent evaluation and verification
- accelerate the growth in user adoption and developer ecosystem
- accelerate the growth of enterprise operations and industrial capabilities to deliver economic and societal impact in the UK.
