European funding opportunities for quantum technologies

European institutions offer a wide range of funding opportunities for quantum technologies, from early-stage research and applied research (Horizon Europe programme) to infrastructure investments (Digital Europe programme). In addition, individual companies – especially start-ups – can receive support from the European Innovation Council and the European Investment Bank.

Below you will find a list of presently open calls, arranged by programme and sorted by deadline. This list may not be exhaustive, so you are encouraged to also check the Search Funding & Tenders (europa.eu) page.
