Thank you for the question.
Dr. Young talked a bit about this in one of her responses. Several issues come into play here, some of them related to intellectual property.
Intellectual property agreements need to be clear. They are usually negotiated one university at a time, and as far as I know, we have no national guidance on this. So that can make it a bit more complex, because if you have multiple university partners, each will have their own ways of doing things with respect to intellectual property.
Having said that, I think the Alliance grant program is a good start, because it helps businesses work together with industry.
On the other hand, in the quantum field, we must never forget that we have to do much more than work with industry. Fundamental discoveries have yet to be made. If we only support research done by university laboratories and industry, we risk missing out on a lot of basic research that's needed to develop technologies. It's important to monitor that, but we shouldn't just invest in the research aspect.
