Innovate UK to invest up to £14.3M in quantum sensing & PNT projects
Innovate UK, the UK innovation agency, will invest up to £14.3 million in quantum sensing and positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) projects. The funding is intended to support development of quantum-enabled sensors and clocks for resilience where satellite navigation is unreliable or unavailable. No specific recipient companies were named in the announcement.
This funding could move at least one UK quantum PNT system from laboratory demonstration to field-trial readiness within two years, giving a credible backup to GNSS in critical infrastructure.
