On March 20, 2025, Quantum Delta NL (QDNL) announced that the National Growth Fund advisory committee had approved its updated programming and key performance indicators. According to the QDNL announcement, the revised approach ensures the continued progress of the organization’s quantum innovation agenda while optimizing resources.
The approval followed QDNL’s receipt of €273 million from the National Growth Fund as part of the third phase of its program. QDNL’s catalyst programs cover quantum computing and simulation, a national quantum network, and quantum sensing applications, organized across five innovation hubs in Delft, Leiden, Twente, Amsterdam, and Eindhoven.
As part of the strategic refinement, QDNL shifted its House of Quantum initiative from investing in a new building to prioritizing state-of-the-art cleanroom facilities and shared infrastructure at NanolabNL and key quantum hubs. The advisory committee commended the restructuring process and acknowledged QDNL’s commitment to economic growth and effective program monitoring. QDNL also embedded its international initiatives within a consolidated global strategy covering talent development, learning centers, pilot lines, and engagement with the EU Chips Act.
Philippe Bouyer, Chair of QDNL’s Board, stated that the organization was “accelerating our ambitious funding strategy to strengthen the innovative industry, expand global partnerships, and position the Dutch ecosystem at the forefront.” Carlo Beenakker, Chair of the Supervisory Board, called the approval “wonderful news.”
