QSens enters second phase of BMBF funding
The QSens future cluster is entering its second funding phase. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is supporting the cluster for a further three years with up to 15 million euros as part of the “Clusters4Future” program.
QSens focuses on the development of advanced quantum sensors with a wide range of potential applications, for example in medical technology, the energy industry and autonomous systems. The first funding phase was characterized by the establishment of a successful innovation network, which is now being further expanded in order to bring the technology into practice more quickly. A particular focus in the next phase will be on the development of quantum sensors for biomedical applications, such as the control of intelligent prostheses and the early detection of diseases.
Association establishment and expansion of “Quanten4KMU”
The cluster is also planning to establish an association that will enable industrial partners and SMEs to join the innovation network. Furthermore, the “Quanten4KMU” platform is to be expanded to make it easier for smaller companies to access state-of-the-art quantum technologies. With this second funding phase, QSens is laying the foundations for future market launches and strengthening the region’s innovative power in the long term.
