“Working with our head coach at ACET Quantum is like having another co-founder on the team – one that cares deeply about us and our success. Time and resources are scarce in startups, so this has made all the difference.”
“The forward-thinking experts at ACET’s quantum program have nurtured our startup’s unconventional material discovery ideas, helping us refine our mission and identify the most promising markets. Despite our approach being considered a misfit for ‘traditional’ quantum applications, the actionable support from ACET’s advisers has turned the challenge to our advantage and has enabled us to achieve critical technology milestones and strengthen our value proposition.”

ACET Quantum is Canada’s first accelerator dedicated to quantum technology startups. We provide strategic guidance, specialized resources, and privileged access to a network of experts to propel your company to the forefront of quantum innovation.
ACET is located at the heart of DistriQ, Sherbrooke’s Quantum Innovation Zone, a world-renowned ecosystem dedicated to accelerating quantum innovations.
DistriQ is an organization that catalyzes expertise and infrastructure, connects and integrates collaborative initiatives by increasing synergy between the various players in the quantum ecosystem at provincial, national and global levels.
In November 2023, the Quebec government awarded more than $65.3 million to support the realization of five projects in the DistriQ Quantum Innovation Zone.
Our coaches bring a unique blend of quantum expertise and business acumen to guide your startup’s journey.
