Quantum Mission Initiative
The National Quantum Mission (NQM) initially set aside $700 million to finance startups under their four Thematic Hubs. This initial funding will expand into a $100 billion Quantum Technology industry, delivering essential products for India and the global market. This SMC initiative aims to energise the startup ecosystem, driving the success of the NQM objectives in the near future.
Likewise, this SMC will stimulate startup activity in the other three sectors where the Government of India has set ambitious targets and is fostering growth through various initiatives.
It is a great opportunity for startups to engage closely with investors, industry experts, mentors, and senior government officials to boost their businesses.
The SMC will create new enterprises in the Deep Tech domain to make modern products. It will benefit both the nation and exports to the rest of the world.
