After announcing the world’s first cryogenically optimized CMOS transistor in late 2024, SemiQon has achieved new milestones in addressing the core challenges with scalability of quantum computers. Using its ultra-low-power cryogenic CMOS, SemiQon has now been able to demonstrate large-scale characterization of quantum dot qubits.

SemiQon partners with Nanoacademic Technologies to bring sophisticated modeling software on top of SemiQon’s silicon quantum chips for quantum researchers and students, accelerating the development of silicon-based quantum technologies.

Finland-based quantum hardware company SemiQon breaks out of the startup stage after securing a total of 17.5 million euros in blended financing from the European Innovation Council. With the EIC backing, SemiQon will speed up commercialization and diversify its business to domains beyond the quantum industry. The highly competitive EIC funding consists of EUR 2.5 million in a competitive, non-dilutive grant and an additional EUR 15 million of equity-based ear-marked funding.

University of Jyväskylä partners with SemiQon to push forward research on silicon-based quantum computing and expand Finland’s national research infrastructure for quantum.
