Quantum applications for future genomes and biomaterials

Q-GEN is rising to the challenge to find out. We develop quantum, quantum-inspired and hybrid methods for some of the hardest problems in genomics, breeding and biomaterial design.

Biological and genomic data are growing faster than classical computing can interpret it. Quantum computing could change that now that it reaches practical use. The race to identify quantum advantage is on.

Q-GEN will be among the firsts to build completely new computational capabilities for the bioeconomy. We will drive the quantum-biology interface from conceptual promise into hard evidence, and in the process, take Finland, and Europe, to the forefront of the race.

Expected value

• Faster and more accurate modelling of biological data
• New quantum and hybrid tools for sustainable materials bioprocessing and breeding
• Reduced uncertainty in Research & Development and commercialization.
• Multidisciplinary talent base and innovation ecosystem at the quantum-biology interface.
