More information about the theme of the program

Finland has a long and extensive research background in quantum computing. Start-ups in the field are increasingly receiving new investments in the development of quantum computing. One of Finland's greatest strengths is LUMI, one of the world's most powerful supercomputers, operated by the IT Center for Science (CSC), which is connected to VTT's HELMI quantum computer. Finland's infrastructure and quantum experts are among the best in the world. 

Why was the theme chosen?

In order to maintain Finland's position at the top of quantum technology, we must continue to invest in the growth of the field. The Quantum program funds projects that study the first applications of quantum technologies, develop quantum and hybrid computing and algorithms for quantum machines, build quantum software, and develop quantum communication and quantum sensing applications. The program aims to help companies succeed in their quantum technology projects. 

The Quantum program promotes the creation of new knowledge and expertise by building research calls for quantum technology, helping to form the necessary consortium and supporting the implementation of research results. 

At the heart of the program are:

  • Utilising quantum technology and developing new solutions
  • Supporting the networking of actors developing quantum technologies
  • Creating an ecosystem focused on quantum technology

Business Finland's goal for the program

Business Finland's goal is to strengthen Finland's position as an international pioneer in the utilisation of quantum technology. With the help of the Quantum program, we help the Finnish quantumindustry grow and become stronger.
