IPAS Members Lead Successful Critical Technologies Challenge Program Applications
The Australian Government鈥檚 Critical Technologies Challenge Program (CTCP) has awarded funding to 14 successful applicants in its first round, with two projects led by IPAS members. The CTCP aims to tackle some of Australia鈥檚 toughest challenges by developing market-led solutions using quantum technologies.
The two South Australian winners, both from IPAS, are:
-
Miniprobes Pty Ltd, in collaboration with The 成人大片, led by听, has been awarded $495,026 for their project focused on improving medical imaging and sensors. Their initiative will enhance diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring activities within the human body using quantum optical imaging for fast and efficient diabetes assessment.
-
Loughan Technology Group Pty Limited, in collaboration with The 成人大片 led by and Australian Rare Earths Limited, has secured $490,936 for their project on quantum optical sensing. This project aims to optimise and reduce the environmental impact of resource exploration, extraction, and mineral processing, particularly for on-site detection of rare-earth elements.
These projects are key examples of how quantum technologies are driving innovation across various sectors. The CTCP aims to foster stronger connections between businesses, researchers, and technology end-users, accelerating the adoption and development of quantum technologies in Australia.
