The Israel Innovation Authority (IIA) has launched a 100 million NIS (about 29 million Euro) initiative to establish a national Quantum Computing R&D Infrastructure. It will provide researchers, startups, industry, and academia with access to cutting-edge quantum technologies through a single national platform.
The infrastructure will integrate at least three different quantum processing technologies and serve as a national center for the evaluation, integration, and adoption of quantum computing technologies. It will enable companies and researchers to test technologies, compare platforms, and develop applications across a range of quantum computing architectures, with the goal of accelerating research and development while strengthening Israel’s position at the forefront of quantum computing.
By integrating multiple quantum computing technologies under one roof, the infrastructure is meant to accelerate R&D, shorten development cycles, enable real-world testing, and help Israeli companies transform scientific breakthroughs into globally competitive innovations.
The Israel Innovation Authority is Israel’s official agency responsible for advancing the nation’s innovation ecosystem. By connecting academia, industry, and government, this initiative is designed to strengthen Israel’s innovation ecosystem today while positioning the country as a global leader in the quantum era.
