Appendic C- Information Session RSVP Form.pdf

This document is an Information Session RSVP Form for the Quantum Technology Commercialization Hubs initiative administered by Empire State Development (ESD) in New York. The form is designed to collect attendance information for a virtual information session scheduled for August 21, 2026, via Zoom. Respondents are required to provide their name, organization, job title, phone number, and email address, as well as contact information for any colleagues from their firm who will attend the session. The form allows attendees to indicate whether they consent to having their contact information published as an addendum to the Request for Proposals (RFP), with an option to opt out or provide alternative contact information for public posting.

ESD anticipates awarding up to $60 million in total funding to establish up to four Quantum Technology Commercialization Hubs, with each selected organization expected to receive approximately $15 million, though ESD reserves the right to adjust funding amounts based on proposal merit and demonstrated financial need. Each hub will serve as a regional anchor for advancing quantum technology commercialization and must undertake activities including establishing and operating a physical hub facility, advancing quantum technology commercialization, incubating and accelerating quantum-related startups, engaging industry stakeholders, driving technology adoption, coordinating across the statewide quantum hub network, and providing reporting and performance measurement. The information session serves as an opportunity for potential respondents to gather details about the project requirements and connect with other interested parties and potential subcontractors or partners.
