Israel Innovation Authority Allocates $32.9M for National Quantum Computing R&D Infrastructure

The Israel Innovation Authority has launched a call for proposals worth NIS 100 million (€28.8 million / $32.9 million USD) to establish a national research and development infrastructure that will give Israeli companies and research institutions access to advanced quantum computing capabilities. The infrastructure will serve as Israel’s national center for evaluating, integrating, and adopting quantum computing technologies by combining at least three different quantum processing approaches. Industrial corporations and user consortia may apply to build and operate the facility in Israel, delivering services across the full quantum stack from hardware and qubits through control systems, error correction, algorithms, and applications.

Multi-Technology Integration Framework

The planned infrastructure is designed to address the current lack of a single dominant quantum computing modality and the limited interoperability among existing platforms. Operators must integrate at least three quantum processing technologies and continuously upgrade each to the most advanced available versions so that Israeli users can benchmark performance, compare architectures, and select the most suitable systems for specific use cases.  Services will span technology integration, algorithm development and optimization, proof-of-concept demonstrations on multiple platforms, error-correction methodology development, and adaptation of solutions to industrial requirements. The operator will also be required to meet defined service-level objectives covering deployment timelines, operational milestones, performance standards, and rapid resolution of critical failures. Full establishment must occur within 18 months of approval, with R&D services, including hardware access, cloud-based offerings, and algorithm evaluation, beginning no later than month 12.

Commercial Access and Ecosystem Strengthening

By concentrating evaluation, integration, and application-development resources in one national facility, the program aims to shorten development cycles for Israeli industry and accelerate the translation of research into competitive capabilities. The infrastructure will support companies and startups developing quantum applications while providing professional training, workshops, and multidisciplinary capacity building. Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology Gila Gamliel described the initiative as a cornerstone for connecting academia, industry, and government. Dror Bin, CEO of the Israel Innovation Authority, emphasized that the facility will help convert scientific knowledge into high-tech competitive advantage. The call is open to industrial corporations and consortia capable of operating a high-service, continuously updated multi-technology environment located entirely in Israel.

Israeli Quantum Companies Positioned for Engagement

Israel’s quantum technology sector includes a dense cluster of companies spanning control electronics, software, error handling, and hardware modalities that stand to benefit from national multi-platform access. Leading firms include:

Quantum Machines, provider of hybrid quantum control systems and orchestration platforms used by laboratories and hardware developers worldwide.

Classiq, developer of an enterprise-grade quantum software platform that automates high-level algorithm design and circuit optimization.

Qedma, specialist in quantum error mitigation and suppression software intended to improve performance on near-term hardware.

Quantum Art, developer of scalable trapped-ion quantum computing systems based on multi-core architectures.

QuamCore, focused on superconducting processor architectures engineered for high qubit density and reduced cryogenic infrastructure demands.

These organizations already operate across the quantum stack and are natural candidates to utilize or contribute technology to the new national infrastructure.

Bottom Line

Israel’s NIS 100 million multi-technology quantum R&D infrastructure will give domestic industry and academia shared access to competing quantum platforms under one national framework.
