Industrial and defense-industry firms enable quantum capabilities to be turned into products and converted into operational value.
Corporate Demand and Need-Capability Matching
Matching firms' corporate needs with suitable capabilities and conducting joint projects and applications within the framework of university-industry-public cooperation are core objectives. This matching is carried out through open calls and consortium models.
From Prototype to Product and Operational Use
Transforming research and applied-R&D outputs from prototype to product, developing domestic component and production capabilities, expanding dual-use applications, and bringing the developed solutions into procurement and operational-use processes are supported.
Cooperation Model
Strengthening the contribution of industrial organizations to the quantum ecosystem through need-capability matching, open calls, and consortium models is a core objective. Industry firms contribute to consortia through corporate demand and productization. Early-stage venture and investment-oriented activities are addressed on the Startups page.
