Contracts for Innovation: Quantum Technologies for Transport – Phase 1

‍Scope

Projects must explore second generation quantum technologies—those based on superposition or entanglement—and their application in transport. Focus areas include:

• Infrastructure monitoring, inspection, and fault prediction.
• Earthworks and construction preparation.
• Asset testing and structural health monitoring.
• Platform health and maintenance in maritime, aviation, road, and rail.

Why This Matters

Quantum sensing could make transport safer, more efficient, and more resilient. From predicting faults before they happen to monitoring the integrity of bridges, tunnels, and tracks, these projects will help unlock the next stage of quantum innovation in the UK.

How Inventya Can Help

At Inventya, we specialise in helping organisations position their innovations for success in highly competitive calls. For this programme, we can:

• Shape your proposal to clearly address transport challenges with quantum sensing solutions.
• Develop compelling business cases that highlight commercial pathways.
• Support compliance with Innovate UK’s requirements.
• Plan for future growth, setting you up for larger-scale funding opportunities beyond Phase 1.

With our guidance, your project can stand out and lay the foundation for quantum’s role in tomorrow’s transport systems.
