REISSUED CALL Quantum Test and Demonstration Facilities, Q-TEST

The call is open to private companies, including both SMEs and larger companies, that invest in quantum technologies in Denmark.

Applications may be submitted by individual companies or consortia. Consortia may include international partners. A prerequisite is that the main applicant is a Danish legal entity and that the intended facility will create value for stakeholders in the Danish quantum ecosystem.

Universities, GTS institutes and others may apply alone or in consortia on equal terms with companies. As the use of the TDU facilities is commercial in nature, support may be received as undertakings under Article 26a of the General Block Exemption Regulation.

Funding may be applied for to cover costs related to establishing test and demonstration facilities. Funding is not provided for subsequent operation of the facilities.

Support may therefore be granted for costs related to:

• Purchase and installation of production and test equipment, including buildings, installations, physical facilities and machinery
• Purchase and licensing of intangible assets directly linked to the investment (e.g., licences, patents and production-related know-how).

Support is not provided for:

• internal salary costs
• developing business models, market analyses, direct sales initiatives and other commercial market activities, including disseminating already existing technology or activities that involve commercial operation of facilities, etc.

To a limited extent, funding may be applied for for activities that are necessary and directly linked to making the facility operational (i.e., not ancillary activities).

Total budget for the call: DKK 49 million.

Innovation Fund Denmark’s investment per project: DKK 10–49 million.

Innovation Fund Denmark’s maximum investment rate: 50% of the total budget
