Life, Sciences & Health – Quantum Forward Challenge 2025

The Quantum Forward Challenges is built around innovation with a strong focus on mission-driven and tight collaboration between researchers, industry and end-users. By adopting elements of the ARPA model, Quantum Delta NL aims to accelerate the translation of quantum technologies into real-world impact.  

This first challenge in Life Sciences & Health marks the beginning of a broader ambition to apply this challenge-based model across multiple sectors and to build a national platform for quantum innovation, where public and private actors co-develop solutions that are both scientifically ambitious and societally relevant.  

The Quantum Forward Challenge in Life Sciences & Health is designed to bring together quantum researchers, clinicians, technologists, and industry partners to co-create and work together on real challenges. Whether it’s quantum computing for drug discovery, quantum sensing for diagnostics, or secure quantum communication for medical data, the goal is to move beyond theory and into application. 

📅 Matchmaking session: 5 September, 10:30–14:00, Space to Create (Stationsplein 90, Utrecht)
