HoQ welcomes TNO as they expand to support startups

HoQ proudly welcomes TNO as they expand their quantum testing capabilities by opening a new hub at HoQ in Delft. This significant development doubles TNO’s quantum testing capacity and provides vital infrastructure to meet the growing demand from quantum startups and scaleups. 

Strategically located in the HoQ at the heart of the Delft quantum technology ecosystem, TNO’s facility offers increased access to state-of-the-art testing environments and expert support. Backed in part by QDNL (QDNL) through the National Growth Fund programme, the expansion is a major step toward strengthening the Netherlands’ position as a leader in quantum innovation.

"TNO joining one of our Houses of Quantum—spaces designed to support startups in their earliest stages—adds significant momentum to our mission of building a world-class quantum ecosystem. It strengthens our value proposition for quantum tech companies by enabling close collaboration with key suppliers across the value chain. This also makes the Netherlands an even more compelling destination for international startups looking to establish themselves in a dynamic and fast-growing quantum community."

Pieter de Witte,Director, QDNL

Hosting TNO at QDNL HoQ reflects QDNL’s commitment to building a resilient, future-focused quantum ecosystem. It embodies the QDNL mission to foster deep-tech excellence through developing state of the art facilities.  

“TNO’s expansion into HoQ marks a pivotal moment in the growth of our national quantum ecosystem. It reflects the strength of our shared vision: a connected, collaborative environment where deep-tech innovation can truly scale. With this step, we’re not only enhancing testing capabilities—we’re reinforcing the Netherlands as a hub of global quantum leadership.”

Christiaan van Oord,Director, HoQ
