WG2 Atom Technology goes Commercial

This working group focuses on the exploitation potential of atom-quantum technologies with a focus on sensors, where Europe is currently world-leader. Examples include gravimetry, navigation and geology, but also technology providers, e.g. lasers.

• Leader: Dr Philippe BOUYER (Institut d’Optique d’Aquitaine, France)
• Vice leader: Prof Barry GARRAWAY (University of Sussex, United Kingdom)

Objectives: Bring together researchers and companies with the aim of advancing the fledgling quantum-high-tech industry in Europe.

Tasks:

• Providing an interface between industry and academia.
• Scouting new opportunities and providing support.
• Support academics in commercialisation of their ideas.
• Function as an efficient industry-academia link.

Milestones: Establishment of a Pan-European platform for quantum-high-tech / academia exchanges.

Major Deliverables:

• Two workshops on the commercial exploitation of academic ideas.
• IPR and startup training at four summer schools.
