We are excited to share the next milestone in the evolution of Quantum Valley Lower Saxony: the founding of QVLS Innovation GmbH.
Since its establishment in 2020, QVLS has been among Germany’s first dedicated quantum initiatives. Over the past years, it has earned the trust of partners across industry, research, and policy by acting as a reliable system for collaboration. One that not only connects stakeholders, but actively supports them in turning scientific excellence into practical progress.
This role was recognized at the national level when the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space selected QVLS as one of only seven Clusters4Future across all scientific disciplines. Chosen from 117 applicants in the second round of a highly competitive process, QVLS stands as a model for how future-oriented innovation ecosystems can succeed.
At the forefront of quantum innovation, QVLS also leads ATIQ, Germany’s largest collaborative program focused on transferring trapped-ion quantum computing into industrial use. Together with strong partners such as eleQtron GmbH, TOPTICA Photonics, Infineon Technologies, and LPKF Laser & Electronics SE, ATIQ exemplifies how close cooperation between research and industry accelerates technological readiness and application.
Building on this momentum, the founding of QVLS Innovation GmbH marks the next natural step in QVLS’s development. The new entity is designed to further strengthen the bridge between research and application by supporting companies on their path to integrating advanced technologies into their strategies.
QVLS Innovation GmbH will offer strategic consulting, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and support access to funding opportunities. It will also enable organizations to enhance their innovative capacity and long-term competitiveness. In addition, it will actively promote knowledge and technology transfer, organize specialized conferences and training programs, and contribute to raising public awareness of the importance of quantum and other future-defining technologies.
