A route to real industrial use cases.
Quantum-Hub introduces selected startups to decision-makers inside its five corporate groups around a concrete need — with a POC environment in which to prove the fit.
What working with us gets you.
Relevant access
A use case defined by an operator inside a corporate group, with the person who owns the problem in the room.
A real POC
A test on working assets — vehicles, warehouses, production lines, terminals — instead of a sandbox that proves nothing to a buyer.
Expert support
A dedicated project team, a POC design workshop, and mentors drawn from a pool of 40+ industry and ecosystem experts.
Continued relevance
Alumni stay in the deal flow. A technology proven in one sector is routinely re-scoped for another partner.
Two ways to work with us.
SPARK — the programme
Thirteen weeks, one partner-selected use case, no equity and no participation fee. Applications open between cohorts; eleven have run so far.
Read about SPARKThe Agile track — ongoing
For technology that matches a live partner need outside the cohort calendar. Scoped individually, on the same POC terms.
