Important results from the project
The project achieved all planned objectives, including identification of spearhead areas, analysis of opportunities and challenges for start-ups, and proposals for cluster activities and societal impact. Coordination nationally and internationally was established. An important unplanned results was broad collaboration between all quantum cluster projects, as well as new valuable contacts through workshops and inclusive working methods.
Expected long term effects
The project is expected to contribute in the long term to a strong, joint quantum technology cluster with established networks and collaborations, which facilitates goal fulfillment and cross-functional collaboration within quantum technology. Even without the establishment of a larger cluster, the contacts created provide lasting value for the development of quantum technology and its applications in Sweden.
Approach and implementation
The moment that had the greatest impact on the outcome and implementation of the project was the broad workshop where all identified actors within quantum sensors in Sweden, as well as some selected international actors, were invited. This was done in collaboration with our second planning project within quantum sensors, funded by VR. In addition, regular project steering group meetings, area-specific working group meetings and a final workshop for reporting and further planning were organized.
