Open calls
PhotonQBoost Open Calls provide tailored opportunities for SMEs to access funding, expertise, and networks across the Photonics and Quantum sectors.
During the project's implementation several types of calls will be launched: Matching Missions, Solutions, Pilots, and Trainings, each designed to support SMEs at specific stages of their innovation journey. Together with our advisory services, the Open Calls create a connected pathway that helps SMEs transform ideas into market-ready solutions.
