Optical clocks are frequency standards with unmatched stability. Bringing those clocks from the laboratory into a robust and compact form will have a large impact on telecommunication, geology, astronomy, and other fields. Likewise, techniques developed for robust clocks will improve laboratory clocks, potentially leading to physics beyond the standard model. To make this transition a reality, we have brought together the iqClock consortium (https://www.iqclock.eu), assembling leading experts from academia, strong industry partners, and relevant end users. We will seize on recent developments in clock concepts and technology to start-up a clock development pipeline along the TRL scale. Our first product prototype will be a field-ready strontium optical clock, which we will benchmark in real use cases. This clock will be based on a modular concept, already with the next-generation clocks in mind, which our academic partners will realize.
