Quantum startups and researchers will share in a £54m fund to advance the UKs quantum technology research. Funded by the UK Research Innovation (UKRI) Technology Mission Fund, it will include investment in software, hardware and non-computing applications. The move has been welcomed by industry insiders who say it will help give the UK early mover advantage as the technology matures.

Science Minister George Freeman made the announcement during London Tech Week and confirmed it was in addition to the £2.5bn investment previously announced for quantum technologies over the next decade as part of the National Quantum Strategy.
