Funding Opportunities
Consortia Award
Quantum City launched a funding call to establish interdisciplinary consortia for creating adoption pathways to capture the benefits of quantum technology. To be eligible for the 2025–2027 round of funding, applicants must submit an Expression of Interest (EoI) between December 16, 2024, and March 5, 2025.
Quantum City Funding Call
Quantum City held a funding call in late 2022 and awarded over 15 applicants with support for quantum and quantum-adjacent projects. We thank all those who applied and are advancing quantum research and technology.
Mitacs Special Offer
Quantum City with Mitacs are supporting industry partnerships with the University of Calgary through an Umbrella Pilot. This pilot reduces barriers for applicants allowing a streamlined review process for eligible quantum projects. For a limited time, Mitacs has a special funding call (up to 2:1 leverage of eligible industry cash). For more information email Annie Hoang at ahoang@mitacs.ca
