Quantum is the future – and we’re making sure it starts here, with our communities. Bold ideas need clear voices
Made possible by the support of the Department of Economic and Community Development and Connecticut Office of Innovation, the QuantumCT Community Impact Pilot Program aims to establish and strengthen partnerships with local community organizations in support of QuantumCT’s community engagement, education, and workforce development goals.
QuantumCT intends to award up to 3 grants of $5K to $25K for each grant category (up to 6 awards total) to support projects that raise public awareness and upskill individuals in quantum technologies and related fields. We invite proposals for projects that can be completed within 1 year of the award.
