German Government Selects QUDORA-Led Consortium For €122 Million Project
Germany's Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) selected a QUDORA-led consortium of seven research and industry partners for the NFQC-1k project, funded at €122 million. The consortium is tasked with building what the announcement describes as one of Europe's most advanced quantum computers.

Within the next two years, this could place a German-built superconducting prototype in the hands of European algorithm developers, giving them a testbed for error mitigation and hybrid quantum-classical workloads that does not depend on US cloud access.
€122 million in committed funding and a seven-partner consortium provide the resources to integrate and cool an early multi-qubit superconducting system on the way toward the 1,000-qubit target, while European researchers currently rely heavily on US-based quantum cloud platforms for larger devices.
