Business Developer Quantum

Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and the Center for Quantum Materials and Technology (QT/e) are looking for a Business Developer Quantum to strengthen the Quantum Delta Brainport Eindhoven ecosystem. This role is at the heart of one of the five national innovation hubs of Quantum Delta NL, which aims to accelerate the adoption of quantum technologies for applications such as quantum computing, quantum secure communication, and quantum sensing applications.

You will work at the intersection of cutting-edge research and industry. Your mission is to accelerate the commercialization of quantum technologies by supporting researchers, initiating spin-offs, and building strategic partnerships.

Operating from the Qubit building at TU/e campus, you will act as a “spider in the web” and connect TU/e research groups with industry, other QDNL hubs and funding bodies. You will work closely with TU/e colleagues, Brainport Development, BOM, and other partners to grow and energize the local ecosystem. Your responsibilities span three key areas:

Identify commercially viable technologies, guide researchers through pre‑incorporation phases, and ease spin‑out processes in collaboration with the QDNL program.

Build partnerships locally, nationally, and internationally; initiate collaborative projects; strengthen ties with end‑users; and secure funding for new initiatives. Connecting the quantum industry with the (local) high‑tech supply chain.

Coordinate housing and infrastructure plans for quantum start‑ups at TU/e, High‑Tech Campus, and Brainport Industries Campus, while expanding the quantum community and positioning Eindhoven as a leading quantum hub.

This role requires a proactive, entrepreneurial mindset and strong networking skills to bridge science, business, and policy domains. You will work closely with the Business Developer at Brainport Development and other stakeholders to ensure alignment with regional and national strategies. Diversity, autonomy, and the opportunity to work at the intersection of cutting‑edge science, entrepreneurship, and industry are guaranteed.
