SPRIND Launches Quantum Sensing Initiative to Back European Projects and Startups

SPRIND, Germany's Federal Agency for Breakthrough Innovation, has launched a Quantum Sensing Initiative to fund and accelerate quantum sensing projects and startups across Europe. The initiative opens with two challenge-style funding programs: Quantum-Driven Intelligence, which focuses on combining quantum sensor data with existing data sources for actionable insights in areas like climate monitoring and autonomous driving, and QuantumSense Exploration, which targets new quantum measurement methods and systems. Applications are open until September 6, 2026, with Stage 1 beginning September 20. Funding ranges from €200,000 to €450,000 in Stage 1 depending on the program, with additional support available for promising teams after the initial challenge period.
