TraQtion

Connecting entrepreneurial companies with the best type of capital: paying customers.

TraQtion is a market accelerator program that leverages UMD quantum centers, the Mid-Atlantic Quantum Alliance (MQA) and other partnerships to connect companies with large government contractors for technology validation and potential customers looking for quantum and quantum-enabling technologies.

Creating the best TraQtion for any business

By partnering with prime contractors and directly accessing customer needs through regional TechBridge programs, TraQtion:

• Supports early-stage companies in working with larger companies and partners.
• Connects startups with partners and customers for market feedback and, ultimately, confirmation of product market fit and technology readiness for deployment.
• Solidifies customer requirements and quantum’s unique value proposition to meet those needs.
• Provides partners with access to a pipeline of promising technology startups.

Powering Quantum

The program provides startups with:

• Partner matchmaking.
• Education on the mechanisms for working with large companies (insurance, contracting, accounting requirements as well as IP considerations and protection)
