Offered by the Midwest I-Corps Node, in collaboration with the Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and also Advancement at the University of Chicago, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and also Duality, the Jumpstart workshop will certainly aid teams check out the business viability of quantum modern technologies, consisting of software and hardware options along with quantum-enabling innovations.
Based upon the Lean LaunchPad approach, the workshop is particularly designed to empower pioneers to check the possibility of their concepts as well as envision just how they could play out in the real life. All accepted groups will receive a micro-grant from the National Scientific research Foundation as well as personalized assistance from skilled teachers.

“By participating in this intensive client exploration program with other quantum concentrated, professors, researchers, graduate students, as well as innovators, teams will certainly find exactly how to convert their quantum technology into applications that solve real-world troubles that somebody is will certainly to pay for. Equipped with this knowledge, groups will dramatically boost the likelihood of being accepted into the next Duality Accelerator associate as well as be allowed to accomplish the maximum business development, acceleration, and also comply with on funding,” said John Thode, a lead instructor from the Midwest Node of the NSF National I-Corps program as well as medical teacher at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Past Jumpstart teams have actually efficiently gone on to take part in the NSFs National I-Corps program as well as safe SBIR/STTR funding.
Various other advantages of taking part:
- Gain valuable understanding to notify the next action in your research and/or advancement
- Create network links as well as obtain mentoring from sector professionals and also business owners
- Establish the business frame of mind and also toolset needed to go after additional chances
“The Jumpstart workshop will offer an incredibly important experience for early-stage quantum technologies to involve directly with market stakeholders. We are excited to utilize the sources of the Midwest I-Corps Node to ensure that scientists can better confirm their suit the ever-expanding quantum community,” added Ellen Zatkowski, who manages the Polsky I-Corps program. “We wish that this will be the initial step for teams thinking about participating in various other commercialization and also endeavor support resources, including Duality.”
