Emerging Technologies

Developing pioneering capabilities and digital solutions

We are looking to the future of computing in the UK, helping you to identify the areas where emerging digital technologies like quantum computing might offer the most competitive advantage. By looking at the intersection of existing classic high performance computing applications and exploring quantum technologies, we want to enable effective investment decisions to make your business or organisation more resilient and unlock new possibilities.

We collaborate with industry and the research community to lower the risk of investment in emerging technologies, removing potential barriers to adoption while developing pioneering capabilities and digital solutions.
