PNRR Quantum Science and Technology initiative NQSTI: opportunities for industrial research and innovation
Speakers: Fabio BELTRAM, Francesco CATALIOTTI, Fabio SCIARRINO, Gaia Raffaella GRECO
The National Quantum Science and Technology Institute (NQSTI) is a consortium funded by Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza (PNRR) that teams up Italian entities carrying out competitive and innovative research in the field of quantum science and technology (QST), and stimulates future industrial innovation in this field, providing a forum in which novel ideas and opportunities are transferred to companies. In order to ensure a long-term positive effect on the Italian economic growth and development, the whole innovation chain is considered: from the strengthening and coordination of the low-TRL research, to its translation into prototypes, favoring interfacing with industrial needs thanks to strong outreach and continued-education programs. Importantly, the creation and incubation of spin-offs and start-ups that can move research outcomes up in the TRL-ranking are included in the proposal scope with significant resources and a special focus onto the southern regions.
