Governments buy something different than companies: sovereignty, talent, economic diversification and a defensible return on public money. We deliver that in defined phases, with formally accepted deliverables and measurable KPIs, and hand the hub over to your own people at the end.
Many countries already have research excellence and funding programmes; commercialization hubs are now being funded across the leading quantum nations for the same reason. What is usually missing are three things: focused quantum commercialization know-how, a pool of startups and founders, and a workforce pipeline that turns strategy papers into practitioners. Those are exactly the gaps we close, as a service, with proven methodology and an international partner network.
| Your goals | How the ecosystem achieves them |
|---|---|
| Turn research into companies and jobs | Global and local deal flow, bootcamps and hackathons as a founding pipeline, a venture builder for spin-outs from your research institutes: research translated into products, growing companies and skilled jobs |
| Attract companies to the location | Accelerator cohorts, corporate programmes and visible events that bring international startups and industry players to your location through programmes, not subsidies |
| Raise startup success rates | Proven programme methodology with stage gates, coaching and corporate first customers from the partner network |
| Build the quantum workforce | A talent pipeline from hackathons and bootcamps to practitioner training, aligned with universities and industry demand, in a market where roughly half of quantum roles go unfilled |
| Scale internationally | An internationalization programme with hosted spots and coaching in leading international quantum and finance hubs |
| Return on public money | A sovereign fund that finances the hub's startups, crowds in private co-investment and is modelled, over its lifetime, to cover the hub's operating cost |
A working hub needs three things at once: high-quality deal flow, leading programmes, and the enabling factors that carry both.
Identify and attract the best startups and founders, locally and globally.
Support startups through the whole lifecycle, from idea to international market.
The environment that makes programmes and startups sustainable.
Each phase closes with named outputs you formally accept. Design and build at a fixed price; operations with a KPI-linked compensation component.
The hub succeeds as a joint effort. The division of labour is settled from the start; here shown for the design phase:
| Activity | We | You | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vision & strategy | Analysis of existing strategy documents, facilitation of workshops, derivation of setup implications, documentation | Articulation of strategic goals, participation in workshops, approval | Vision & strategy, KPI set |
| Hub elements | Design proposals for deal flow, programmes and enabling factors based on proven practice, localised to your needs | Validation with internal stakeholders, approval of the design | Hub concept, high-level blueprint |
| Fund | Options for fund strategy, size and setup, recommendation along your goals | Articulation of the fund ambition, approval of the setup | Fund design and setup |
| Budget & procurement | Budget structure, 3-year plan, sourcing strategy and tender documents for agencies and interior build-out | Budget expectations, preferred partner lists, running the procurement, approvals | Budget plan, tender documents |
Prerequisites on your side: timely decisions by stakeholders, availability of the relevant people and corporate functions, access to all relevant information and local partners, and workspace during the project phases.
Fund strategy, size and setup are decided in the design phase. The fund serves a dual purpose: seed financing for the hub's startups and growth financing for the best teams, local and international, while crowding in private co-investment.
Seed money for participating startups, primarily covering the programme stage.
Seed for all cohort startups, selective bridge and Series A follow-on for the strongest.
Seed through growth investment, for local and international startups, with a balanced portfolio and a 10-year lifetime.
The KPI set is refined together in the design phase and linked to a performance-based component of the operations fee. Illustrative targets, including the metrics governments actually report on:
A small senior team on site, ensuring continuity over the full contract term. Complemented by an on-demand network of over 60 mentors and subject-matter experts.
Key positions are filled locally: programme, community and operations roles. Job profiles, selection and onboarding are part of the build deliverables.
Your emerging leaders accompany our team from the start. Full transparency and structured knowledge transfer are anchored in the contract, not goodwill.
At the end of the operations phase we hand the hub over to your team, once the prerequisites are met. The mandate ends with your independence, not with a dependency on us.
The hub finances itself through four revenue streams: fund returns, corporate partnerships, event sponsoring and service fees. The model is tailored to your context in the design phase and approved by you annually.
A formal briefing, on site or virtual: methodology, phase deliverables, KPI framework and reference material. Suitable for pre-procurement dialogue.
