The energy sector accounts for approximately 85% of Australia’s net emissions, with electricity a significant contributor. Can your quantum solution optimise the performance, stability and security of Australia’s energy network? The Critical Technologies Challenge Program is seeking quantum solutions that: 🔋 improve the efficiency and resilience of our energy networks 🔋 reduce energy costs for households 🔋 strengthen our ability to meet our emissions targets 🔋 end-users including energy providers, data centres and the mining sector can adopt. Your consortium could access up to $5.5 million in funding to put your solution to the test. This is your chance to shape quantum in Australia! Applications will open January 2025. Read the guidelines and get ready to apply: http://spklr.io/6046IFI2 #CriticalTechChallengeProgram #QuantumTechnology #AusQuantum #quantum
