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.
Any out-of-state applicants must affirm their ability to establish a company presence in New Mexico should they be selected for an award. Award funds must go toward company activity in New Mexico, and awardees will agree to maintain their company presence in the state for a minimum of two years post-award.

New Mexico Quantum Hub Extension Award
Provided by the New Mexico Economic Development Department Technology and Innovation Office (TIO)
The New Mexico Quantum Hub Extension Award (NMQHEA) is a competitive, state-funded grant that allocates continuation funding for previously state-funded and state-designated Quantum Hubs in New Mexico. This funding is designed to support the State's initial investment in stimulating quantum-driven economic development in New Mexico by ensuring previously awarded hubs have the resources necessary to complete and sustain their commitments and outcomes.
Eligible uses of funds include supplementing construction or facility delivery, addressing budget gaps in ongoing operations, and supporting any programmatic activities initiated under prior approval of the original award. Continuation funds may also be used to expand upon activities that were included in the original award where additional investment would strengthen delivery or accelerate progress toward the hub's established goals. All proposed uses must align directly with the scope and intent of the original contract. Award funds must go toward expanding upon the Quantum Hub's physical infrastructure capacity in New Mexico.
