Quantum Lives In the
Mountain West

Colorful mountain landscape during sunset with snow-capped peaks, dense green and orange foliage in the foreground, and a sky filled with orange and dark clouds.

Quantum technologies will be as important to the next century as semiconductors were to the last, and Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming are leading the way to build them. Since 2000, Colorado’s scientists alone have earned four Nobel Prizes for groundbreaking work on quantum science and the region is home to more quantum organizations, companies and jobs than anywhere else in the country.

Elevate Quantum is a Designated TechHub by the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration and boasts the largest regional consortium in America. The consortium of 120 organizations works to ensure that the region remains the global epicenter for Quantum by helping turn cutting-edge research into world-changing companies, facilitating a vibrant startup and scale-up ecosystem, and building a strong workforce.

The Tech Hub designation was made possible through a collaborative application co-led with CU Boulder's Center for Technology, Workforce & Innovation (CTWI) and Central New Mexico Community College (CNM), which serve as key implementation partners.

Elevate Quantum’s mission is simple: Dramatically accelerate the pace of commercialization in quantum.

The Elevate Quantum Model

Our model for success falls within four core pillars:

An open-access commercial quantum lab providing access to hardware, software and expertise for AMO and Solid State Quantum Modalities. The engine for sustainable growth for Elevate Quantum and the region.

CREATE

ACCELERATE

A continuum of accelerator programs to address every stage of the entrepreneur’s journey to translate quantum from the lab and build the world’s biggest businesses.

An industry-informed, accessible, and skilled quantum innovation ecosystem that ensures a strong QIT workforce.

INCLUDE

A central entity to manage the overall consortium and develop critical programming to ensure consortium success.
