Quantum tech specialist Aegip has published a plan it hopes the Government will use to boost its emerging field.
The University of Sheffield spin-out, which is based in the city, has submitted a paper to a Science, Innovation and Technology Committee inquiry in which it calls for the Government to become the first customer of quantum tech so as to drive confidence. Ideas about the use in critical national infrastructure and calls for support for the supporting semiconductor sector are among the seven points laid out by the firm, which was founded by Ukrainian school friends Maksym Sich and Andrii Iamshanov together with Scott Dufferwiel.
The evidence follows the Government's setting out of a 10-year quantum strategy to put the UK at the forefront of the technological drive. In her forward to the strategy, then Science, Innovation and Technology Minister Michelle Donelan said it would make the UK the best place in the world to start and grow a quantum business.
