Quantum Technologies

The Nursery: Special Track

From Quantum Innovation to Real-World Impact.

Quantum technology is shaping the future, opening up new possibilities across industries. From Quantum Computing and Quantum Communication to Quantum Sensing, Quantum Security and other emerging quantum technologies, the opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurship are rapidly expanding.

The Nursery's Quantum Technology Track is designed for early-stage startups looking to turn cutting-edge quantum research and technologies into viable businesses.

Building on our full six-month incubator program, the track offers 4–6 additional quantum-focused sessions, dedicated mentors and advisors, and direct access to industry expertise, research institutions, potential customers and funding opportunities.

Located at Amsterdam Science Park, at the heart of Amsterdam's quantum ecosystem, we connect startups with the right people, knowledge and opportunities to accelerate their growth.

Together with our ecosystem partners QDNL Amsterdam, QSoft, the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and House of Quantum Amsterdam, we bridge the gap between scientific breakthroughs and commercial applications.

From science to business. From quantum potential to real-world impact.
