Israel Issues Project Nexus Tender to Establish National Quantum Computing Platform
Israel’s National AI Directorate and Finance Ministry have launched Project Nexus, a tender to establish a national “Blue and White” quantum computing platform as an early implementation step of the country’s national AI strategy. The platform is intended to support the diverse quantum technologies existing in Israel while aiming to ensure a domestically produced system. Parallel Requests for Information address a national Physical AI simulation and real-world testing environment and pathways to sovereignty in foundational AI models. The moves follow Government Decision 4255 and come alongside a separate Israel Innovation Authority NIS 100 million multi-technology quantum R&D infrastructure call.
