Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park to Accelerate Tenant Entry

The Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP) announced that mHUB will host the IQMP’s On-Ramp program, with additional On-Ramp facilities provided at the UChicago Science Incubator at Hyde Park Labs and at the Discovery Partners Institute, as well as at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Grainger College of Engineering space in downtown Chicago.

On-Ramp allows companies that will ultimately be tenants at the IQMP to enter and leverage the Chicago and Illinois quantum ecosystem immediately by temporarily locating at local innovation facilities. “On-Ramp ensures that companies choosing to make the IQMP their home do not have to wait until our doors are open to begin building, hiring and collaborating here in Illinois,” said Harley Johnson, Executive Director and CEO of the IQMP.

IQMP tenants in On-Ramp include IBM, Pasqal, Diraq, and Quantum Machines. The IQMP, which broke ground in Fall 2025, is a 128-acre development that provides infrastructure and resources to support the development and commercialization of quantum technologies, hardware, software and applications.
