Such advancements will have a profound andpositive impact in the UK as we build on our positionas a science and technology leader and turnacademic strength in quantum into economic success. Both the UK Innovation Strategy and TheIntegrated Review emphasise the integral roleof quantum technologies in the UK’s innovationecosystem, recognising the internationalstrength in quantum that started with theestablishment of the National QuantumTechnologies Programme (NQTP) in 2014. Thisten-year programme has delivered £1bn ofpublic and private investment across quantumtechnologies and should be praised for buildinga world leading ecosystem in quantum scienceand technology development in the UK. Equally,the creation of the National Quantum ComputingCentre (NQCC) will provide access, resources,and partnerships for the quantum industry tofurther push forward the quantum innovationecosystem in the UK.1 Quantum Commercialisation Campaign, workingalongside techUK’s Quantum Working Group todevelop a roadmap on the role of the UK techsector in making commercialisation successful. This report comes at a crucialtime in the development ofquantum technologies, aswe move from research todeployment of the initial usecases across a variety ofindustries. Indeed, quantum is undoubtedly acceleratingtoward commercial viability. Given recentadvances in the maturity of the underlyingtechnology platforms, as well as the ongoingscale-up in the UK’s wider ecosystem, it seemslikely that quantum will have a significantimpact in manufacturing, chemicals, lifesciences, financial services, energy, andtelecommunications.4 This foundation puts the UK in a strongposition to be a world leader in quantum. TheUK Government’s recent announcement tolaunch its first Quantum Strategy solidifiesthis position and strengthens the path towardscommercialisation of quantum technologies.2 Still, we cannot be complacent. We needto sustain the UK as a leader in quantumas other nations continue to invest in thecommercialisation of these technologies.techUK has highlighted the importanceof quantum commercialisation throughits recent Quantum Commercialisationcampaign, convening the technology sector,key stakeholders, policy makers and the widerbusiness community to explore how to create athriving quantum market in the UK.3This workemphasised that commercialisation of quantumwill benefit the economy from huge productivitygains and new products and services here inthe UK. This report is a summation of techUK’s Commercialisation of quantum technologieswill underpin the success of the UK’s quantumresearch and early-stage start-ups and facilitatethe emergence of the thriving quantumecosystem envisaged by the Quantum Strategy.We call on UK Government and industry to setclear commercial ambitions together, givingUK-based and international businesses theconfidence that the UK is a promising place toachieve commercial viability. This report addresses all quantum technologies,from sensing, communications, security andcomputing as these technologies unlock lots of different use cases in the UK. Differenttechnologies and use cases will mature atdifferent speeds, and throughout this report wehave tried to think inclusively about how the UKcan support the variety of quantum hardwareand software systems, and products andservices, that will emerge in the coming years.These technologies do have overlapping areas offocus, such as skills, adoption and security. should think holistically about research,ecosystems, and commercialisation of thesetechnologies together. With this in mind, a focuson commercialisation also means support forother technologies that will become part of thequantum ecosystem and enable its success. techUK believes that without addressing thesefive key priorities, it will become difficult tosustain a world leading quantum ecosystem inthe UK with commercialisation at the forefront.Across these priorities, techUK underscores theimportance of collaboration and partnershipwith the wider tech sector to make this areality. Indeed, the UK tech sector can beviewed as a vital conduit between our nascentquantum industry and the end users deployingthe first use cases and their role in quantumcommercialisation should be recognised andsupported. We call on UK Government andindustry to set clear comm
