The Quantum Technology Strategic Advisory Board was set up with the right to challenge the National Quantum Technologies Programme, with appropriate leadership from research, industry and government CSAs, but not delivery partners or direct beneficiaries to ensure robust independent scrutiny.This group will focus on advising on the strategy for the NQTP, particularly the longer-term direction of this area and how those investments and interventions already made are contributing to the delivery of strategy.The UK National Quantum Technologies Programme (NQTP) is billions of pounds of dynamic collaboration between industry, academia and government. It represents and guides the fission of a leading-edge science into transformative new products and services. The NQTP supports ideas, innovation and investment to secure UK advantage and opportunities in the globally competitive new quantum era. The NQTP acts as a cornerstone for the underpinning scientific research, skills training and international collaboration vital to building a resilient UK quantum-enabled economy.https://uknqt.ukri.org
