The New Mexico Quantum Technologies Award (NMQTA) is a competitive, state-funded grant that awards non-dilutive funds to early-stage companies working in quantum and quantum-enabling technologies that are located in New Mexico or are in the process of establishing a presence in New Mexico. Through this award, the New Mexico Economic Development Department ultimately seeks to support the growth or relocation of quantum technology companies in New Mexico to expand our economic base through business support and fostering the creation of new tech sector jobs.
The Technology and Innovation Office (TIO) seeks to make awards of up to $200,000 each to eligible companies.
