Help Shape the Future of EU Innovation Support: Share Your Challenges and Needs through PhotonQBoost
Sustainability and resilience are no longer optional but they are vital pillars for the long-term success of Europe’s Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, it is crucial for European SMEs to remain competitive while also addressing the pressing demands of environmental responsibility, supply chain stability, and resource efficiency.
To support this mission, the European Union is investing over €3.6 million in direct support through the PhotonQBoost project. This ambitious initiative is designed to help SMEs adopt cutting-edge Photonics and Quantum technologies that can accelerate innovation, reduce waste, enable digitalization, and create disruptive solutions for diverse sectors across the EU.

Why Your Voice Matters
PhotonQBoost is not just about providing funding. It’s about building services that work for you. We are currently designing the upcoming funding calls and shaping the scope of support services that will be launched in the coming months and we want to do it with you, not just for you.
To ensure that these opportunities are aligned with the real challenges, needs, and aspirations of European SMEs, we are conducting a short survey. By participating, you play an active role in shaping how the €3.6M funding is allocated. Your feedback will help us tailor the support services to truly reflect the barriers and opportunities you are facing in your innovation journey.
