The quantum innovation lab is a programme designed for scientists who want to investigate the commercial potential of their research. Participants will learn from industry leaders, identify their technology’s potential, and explore funding opportunities to turn ideas into viable projects. 

Who should join? If you’re a student or a quantum researcher with bold ideas and a passion for innovation, the quantum ilab is the place for you.

Schedule

The quantum ilab consists of a boot camp on 25 – 28 September 2025 (at Jugendgästehaus Bad Ischl) where participants will learn about the fundamentals of entrepreneurship and work together on the innovative ideas. The boot camp will be followed by six weekly online sessions to help them develop the main aspects of a business idea; in this phase, participants will get the support of their institutions to make progress. On 14 November 2025, the programme will culminate with the demo day where selected teams will pitch their ideas.
