Karnataka sets USD 20 bln Quantum Economy target by 2035

Bengaluru, July 31 (UNI) Karnataka has launched an ambitious initiative to transform itself into a $20 billion quantum technology economy by 2035, aiming to generate 10,000 high-skilled jobs and position the state as the "Quantum Capital of Asia."
The mission, unveiled at the Quantum India Summit 2025 in Bengaluru, will be spearheaded by the Karnataka Quantum Mission (KQM), backed by a ₹1,000 crore fund.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, speaking at the summit, stated, “Karnataka has long been India’s technology and innovation capital. Our vision is to make this platform a global hub for collaboration, innovation, and real-world quantum applications. Karnataka and India are ready to lead the world into the quantum era.”
As part of the mission, the government will establish Q-City, a dedicated quantum technology hub near Bengaluru. The project also includes the development of India’s first Quantum Hardware Park, four Innovation Zones, and a dedicated FabLine to boost domestic manufacturing.
To build talent pipelines, Karnataka will introduce quantum skilling programs in over 20 colleges, support 150 PhD fellowships annually, and implement a quantum curriculum in English and Kannada at the higher secondary level under the Stream Labs initiative.
In addition, the state plans to develop 1,000-qubit processors, pilot quantum applications in healthcare, defence, and cybersecurity, and promote over 100 start-ups, alongside launching a Quantum Venture Capital Fund.
Minister for Science & Technology and Minor Irrigation, N S Boseraju, said Karnataka is targeting 20 percent of the global quantum technology market share by 2035 and creating over two lakh direct jobs. “The country’s first commercially deployable quantum computer, developed in Bengaluru by local talent, is already offering commercial services,” he revealed.
He noted that the Quantum Research Park at IISc Bengaluru has already supported 55+ R&D projects, 13 start-ups, and trained more than 1,000 quantum experts annually.
The summit, themed ‘Building a Quantum Ecosystem: Qubits to Society’, was organised by the Department of Science & Technology, Government of Karnataka, in partnership with IISc’s Quantum Technology Initiative (IQTI) and supported by the National Quantum Mission.
Karnataka’s quantum ambitions include fostering global collaborations through the India Quantum Conclave and establishing quantum chip fabrication capabilities by year-end. The state envisions quantum tech playing a transformative role in early disease detection, secure communication, smart agriculture, and enhanced national security.
