Quantum Technology

Super computers of the future and unbreakable quantum cryptography. Copenhagen is a global powerhouse in the development, manufacture and design of photonic and electronic quantum components. This makes co-locating attractive not just to hardware developers, but also to subcontractors in a number of fields.  QDev is working to build the first scalable quantum computer. The Niels Bohr Institute Quantum Optics Section is a leading hub for fundamental and applied research in quantum simulation, sensing and communication.

Nano Science

Molecular electronics, catalytic compounds, advanced foods, drugs and materials. A global top-ten-research environment, nano science in Copenhagen is already contributing to the development of profitable applications and the long-term investment potential is highly promising. Copenhagen Science City will be the perfect base for companies hoping to benefit from the European Spallation Source coming on-line in 2019.
