We are happy to announce that AQT received the prestigious PreSeed funding from the Austria Wirtschaftsservice (AWS).
The Austrian Wirtschaftsservice (AWS) supports startups in preseed and seed-stage, provides training on IP regulations, and several other services. Prior to establishing AQT, we handed in our preseed application. In March 2018 we happily presented our goals and approach to an AWS evaluation board. Briefly afterwards we have been informed that our application has been accepted.
This six-digit euro, non-dilutive funding by AWS helps us to get started early, attract more investors, and move even faster towards the realization of a commercially viable quantum computer.
Our thanks to Paul Ullmann and the rest of the team at AWS.
