The University of Bristol’s Quantum Innovation activity consists of two pioneering centres which support the creation and growth of the UK’s Quantum Technology start-up ecosystem.

The first is the Quantum Technologies Innovation Centre (QTIC) which offers dedicated facilities and support services for quantum and deep tech companies to launch, grow and connect. With a £35m investment from local government, the Centre is currently at pilot stage and its full-scale facility will open as part of the new Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus in 2025.

Within QTIC, is the Quantum Technology Enterprise Centre which has support the establishment of a third of the UK’s funded quantum companies. It offers a six month pre-incubator programme QUEST to provide researchers with the necessary business training and support to establish their own quantum technology venture based upon their research.

At the University of Bristol, our mission is to support academic researchers, early-stage entrepreneurs and startup companies to become commercially viable by providing affordable access to specialist facilities, business support, world-leading business training and access to our network of investors, business and industry.
