The cluster will accelerate quantum innovation, scale emerging technologies, and aim to create over 1,000 high-value jobs and £1 billion in investment into the UK over the next decade.
The initiative is led by the Science and Technology Facilities Council, in partnership with the Harwell Joint Venture (Brookfield Asset Management and The UK Atomic Energy Authority), the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, and the Department for Business and Trade.
At the launch, the UK’s new Quantum Cluster at Harwell Campus signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Quantum Exponential Group plc (QEG), the UK’s first listed investment company dedicated to quantum technology.
