Think you can push quantum sensing beyond the Standard Quantum Limit? We want to hear from you. The German Federal Agency for Breakthrough Innovation federal SPRIND will provide successful teams with up to €3.275 million across three stages, tailored support, coaching and access to its network. With the Measuring with Entanglement Challenge, SPRIND is looking for teams ready to turn quantum advantages into real-world applications. This includes breakthrough innovations in: 1. Quantum sensors that demonstrate measurable advantages beyond the Standard Quantum Limit (SQL) or exploit genuine quantum correlations 2. Robust, application-ready sensing technologies that translate quantum advantages into reliable performance under real-world conditions Apply by November 9, 2026, at 12:00 CET.

Ready to move chemical manufacturing beyond fossil fuels? SPRIND, the German Federal Agency for Breakthrough Innovation, is looking for ambitious visionaries and radical ideas to turn microbial consortia into controllable precision factories. Successful teams will be provided with up to € 4.3 million in non-dilutive funding, coaching and matchmaking with investors and industrial off-takers. Apply by November 16, 2026,at 11:00 (CET).

Next Frontier Robotics is not only a Challenge, it is part of an ambitious plan to bring AI into the physical world and establish a full stack AI & Robotics ecosystem out of Europe. If you are keen to unlock the next S-curve in robotics hardware and/or software please apply in one of two tracks until October 22, 2026, at 18:00 (CEST). Track 1 “Integrated Platforms” challenges teams to develop full-stack robotic systems that orchestrate hardware, software and AI to master real-world use cases autonomously. Track 2 “Hardware Components” focuses on modular hardware components such as gripping systems, artificial skin or tactile sensors that deliver a radical performance leap over the state of the art. Selected teams can secure up to €7.2 million in non-dilutive funding, coaching, and access to a carefully curated advocate network. Big thanks go to Patrick Schwarzkopf from VDMA, Kathrin Anandasivam from TRUMPF, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Alin Albu-Schaeffer from Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt e.V. and Dirk Hoke from Voith Group for being part of this ambitious journey. Your support and engagement are essential to give radical new ideas the initial backing.
