QuantWare, a Delft-based industrial quantum processor firm, right now introduced a €152 million ($178 million) Collection B spherical following the announcement of VIO-40K, a quantum processor structure for 10,000 qubits, 100x bigger than the state-of-the-art right now.
New traders becoming a member of the spherical embody Intel Capital, IQT and ETF Companions, with current traders collaborating together with FORWARD.one and Make investments-NL Deep Tech Fund, InnovationQuarter Capital, Floor State Ventures, and Graduate Ventures. This allegedly marks the biggest personal spherical raised by a devoted quantum processor firm to this point.
“The promise of quantum computing, able to fixing humanity’s intractable challenges, can solely occur as soon as it may be manufactured and deployed at scale. That’s precisely what we’re constructing,” says Matt Rijlaarsdam, CEO and co-founder of QuantWare. “VIO-40K will ship 10,000-qubit processors on an open structure that all the ecosystem can construct on, and KiloFab provides us the economic manufacturing capability to fulfill quickly rising international demand. This fundraise accelerates QuantWare, and in doing so, advances all the ecosystem towards hyperscale quantum compute.”
QuantWare’s Collection B sits inside a concentrated 2026 funding sample round European quantum computing and the {hardware} layers wanted to scale it. EU-Startups has reported giant rounds for eleQtron and Equal1, in addition to a number of enabling-hardware raises protecting quantum chip testing, photonics, cryogenic electronics and semiconductor lasers.
The Dutch context is very related: Groove Quantum and OrangeQS, each Delft-based, have additionally raised funding in 2026, pointing to native exercise round quantum chip manufacturing, validation and infrastructure.
Towards this backdrop, QuantWare’s spherical is materially bigger than some other 2026 quantum-related startup financings and follows its beforehand reported €20 million Series A in 2025.
“In superconducting quantum computing, scale is more and more constrained by routing, packaging, and manufacturability – not simply qubit design,” says Kike Miralles, Intel Capital. “QuantWare recognised that early and constructed VIO to deal with it. That mixture of technical ambition and execution positions them to turn into the corporate on which the way forward for superconducting quantum programs will likely be constructed.”
Based in 2021 by Matt Rijlaarsdam and Alessandro Bruno as a spinout from QuTech at TU Delft, QuantWare designs, fabricates, and integrates quantum processors on VIO – the QPU structure to scale superconducting qubits to utility-scale quantum computing – for all the ecosystem.
QuantWare says they’ve shipped extra quantum processors than some other business provider, serving greater than 50 clients throughout 20 nations.
The corporate can be constructing KiloFab, the world’s largest devoted quantum open structure fab, growing the corporate’s manufacturing capability by 20x to fulfill robust international buyer demand.
“Constructing a worldwide compute {hardware} firm requires immense ambition. The QuantWare group has that drive, and with their VIO expertise, they maintain the important thing to main the high-growth quantum trade. As one in all their earliest backers, we’re proud to proceed our help in what’s now the world’s largest funding spherical for a devoted quantum processor firm,” stated Robin van Boxsel, Common Accomplice at FORWARD.one.
The corporate says they’re the one ones that design, fabricate, and combine modular quantum processors on an open structure at an industrial scale.
Its proprietary VIO expertise – a modular Quantum Processor Structure – permits the creation of the world’s strongest quantum processors that present essentially the most compute per Watt.
Designed as an open platform that may scale the qubit chiplets and designs of third events, VIO unlocks essentially the most highly effective quantum processing models (QPUs) for all the trade. QuantWare serves the worldwide quantum provide chain by way of QuantWare-designed QPUs, foundry companies, and chiplet packaging – enabling quantum computing corporations to scale on QuantWare’s VIO structure.
“Quantum computing is on the verge of an inflection level, and is a strategic precedence for nations all over the world,” provides J.D. Englehart, Senior Director, IQT. “QuantWare has each the breakthrough scaling expertise in VIO, in addition to the requisite industrial functionality in KiloFab. The corporate is poised to play a key function in shaping the worldwide quantum provide chain.”
