She is in her element when it comes to start-ups: Dr Anna Christmann (Member of the German Bundestag, Federal Government Coordinator for Aerospace and Commissioner for the Digital Economy and Start-ups) and Ministerial Director Christina Decker (Head of the Digital and Innovation Policy Department of the BMWK) visited the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt in Braunschweig to find out more about technology transfer and spin-offs. The experts then explored the infrastructure of the HighTech Incubator of the Cluster4Future QVLS (QVLS-HTI), which currently supports 11 spin-offs from metrology and quantum science.
QVLS-HTI's modern deep-tech laboratories, which opened in April 2024 in the historic Rolleiwerke Braunschweig, were made possible by the impulse funding from the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the State of Lower Saxony. Two of the eleven start-ups presented their projects for the future of quantum technology to the two visitors from the Ministry: Both MKFS electronics and QUDORA Technologies are developing hardware to fuel the emerging innovation ecosystem in quantum technology.
