Invited Call for Proposals under the Swiss Quantum Initiative

Within the Swiss Quantum Initiative (SQI), the SCNAT is excited to announce the second stage of the Call for TRL-enhancing initiatives. The aim of the call is to accelerate quantum technologies in Switzerland towards practical and real-world applications.

The call for proposals is closed. Updates will be published under news.

The invited call for proposals runs from September 30, 2025, until December 17, 2025. Selected submissions of the Call for Pre-Proposals from April 30th, 2025 are invited to submit a full proposal.
The call is part of an initiative by the Swiss Quantum Commission (SQC) to enhance technology readiness ("TRL-enhancing initiative") within the framework of financial support measures for 2025–2028. It aims to support the growth of new quantum technologies and to encourage collaboration between experts from academia, research institutions, and industry.

Focus of the call

The pre-proposals should aim to advance existing technologies towards medium to high Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) and to help shape new areas of application. They should focus on at least one of the following objectives:

  • Strengthen or expand quantum-specific shared infrastructures and platforms;
  • Build capabilities and initiate engineering efforts in quantum technologies;
  • Enhance national collaboration and foster expert and user networks.

Funding of up to CHF 15 Mio. is available for these projects. The supported projects are expected to start in spring 2026.

By TRL, the SQI refers to the following scale:

  • TRL 1: Basic principles observed
  • TRL 2: Technology concept formulated
  • TRL 3: Experimental proof of concept
  • TRL4: Technology validated in lab
  • TRL 5: Technology validated in relevant environment (industrially relevant environment in the case of key enabling technologies)
  • TRL 6: Technology demonstrated in relevant environment (industrially relevant environment in the case of key enabling technologies)
  • TRL 7: System prototype demonstration in operational environment
  • TRL 8: System complete and qualified
  • TRL 9: Actual system proven in operational environment

Submission guidelines

The legal basis is described in the call paper and in the SQI funding regulations.
Further information is distributed to the main applicants of successfull pre-proposals.
