National Quantum Collaboration Initiative

A national consultation to support building a skilled and growing quantum workforce

Sydney Quantum Academy has secured funding from the Australian Department of Industry, Science and Resources to manage the National Quantum Collaboration Initiative (NQCI). The initiative will be delivered in early 2024.

The Australian quantum community is encouraged to contribute their insights and ideas towards developing a strategy that will strengthen quantum skills, enhance workforce training programs, and nurture the growth of the quantum ecosystem.

Further information about the project can also be requested via email to nqci.project@sydney.edu.au

Industry opportunities

Entrepreneurship

Sydney is home to some of Australia’s most successful quantum technology start-ups, with the number set to grow each year.   

SQA has launched the Quantum Innovators Network to help support this growing community. The Quantum Innovators Network brings together entrepreneurially-minded quantum trailblazers to hear from global experts and others who have embarked on the start-up journey. 

We welcome new collaborators. Whether you’re a student, academic, researcher, entrepreneur, start-up or investor, the Network is a central hub to connect.
