UK Startups and Innovation: DTC Quantum names four Harwell cohort firmsBackground
AmorphiQ was named as one of four companies in UKRI's DeepTech Catalyst (DTC) Quantum programme on 14 April 2026, receiving between £50,000 and £100,000 plus 50 hours of business support, alongside Curenetics, Coherence Engine, and Qascade . The cohort is based at the STFC Harwell Campus in Oxfordshire, the UK's principal quantum Science facility.
AmorphiQ works in Quantum computing, a field where the UK has invested heavily through UKRI's National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) at Harwell. DTC Quantum provides early-stage startups with seed-level capital, access to NQCC's quantum hardware, and commercialisation support designed to bridge the gap between academic spinout and investable company.
The DTC Quantum cohort model is competitive: Harwell selection indicates UKRI confidence in AmorphiQ's technology readiness and commercial potential within the UK quantum ecosystem.
