The race to build practical quantum computers is entering a new phase as companies move beyond laboratory research and focus on industrial deployment. While quantum computing has long promised breakthroughs in fields ranging from materials science and pharmaceuticals to logistics and artificial intelligence, one of the industry’s biggest challenges remains scaling quantum systems into reliable, manufacturable products. French quantum computing company Quobly believes the answer lies in leveraging the same semiconductor manufacturing techniques that power today’s electronics industry, and it has now secured significant funding to accelerate that vision.
The company has raised €115 million in Series A financing to support the industrialisation of its silicon based quantum computing platform and prepare the launch of its first commercial systems.
The round was led by Bpifrance, SEALSQ, and STMicroelectronics.
Additional participation came from the European Innovation Council, Blast, ALIAD, and existing investor Innovacom.
The financing marks one of the largest funding rounds for a European quantum computing company and reflects growing confidence in silicon based quantum technologies.
Moving From Research to Industrial Deployment
Founded to develop scalable quantum computing systems, Quobly has spent its early years building the core technologies required for quantum processing.
During its seed phase, the company developed its silicon qubit architecture alongside the hardware, software, and control systems needed to operate quantum computers.
According to co founder and CEO Maud Vinet, the new funding signals a transition from technology validation to industrial deployment.
The company’s objective is to make quantum computing deployable, scalable, and practical for real world industrial environments rather than limiting it to research settings.
Leveraging Semiconductor Manufacturing
One of Quobly’s defining characteristics is its focus on silicon based quantum processors.
The company uses Fully Depleted Silicon On Insulator technology, commonly known as FD SOI, manufactured on 300 millimetre wafers.
By building quantum processors using established semiconductor manufacturing techniques, Quobly aims to address some of the most significant barriers facing the industry, including scalability, manufacturing consistency, and production yield.
Its silicon qubits are designed for dense integration and compatibility with existing industrial fabrication standards, creating a pathway toward large scale quantum processor production.
Introducing the Alloy Platform
The company’s first commercial product line is being developed under the Alloy brand.
Its initial system, Alloy Pioneer, is scheduled to become available through the cloud in 2026 via Alloy Forge, Quobly’s quantum application development platform.
This cloud based approach will allow developers and researchers to access quantum computing resources remotely while building applications and testing algorithms.
Following cloud deployment, the company plans to integrate its systems into high performance computing environments.
This strategy reflects a growing industry trend toward hybrid computing architectures that combine classical and quantum resources.
Building Quantum Systems for Existing Infrastructure
Unlike some quantum computing approaches that require entirely new infrastructure, Quobly is designing its systems to integrate directly with existing data centre and high performance computing environments.
This compatibility is intended to simplify adoption and accelerate commercial deployment.
The company is also working closely with partners across the semiconductor ecosystem in areas including materials engineering, cryogenics, process control, and yield optimisation.
These collaborations are designed to strengthen manufacturing capabilities while improving the performance and reliability of future systems.
Accelerating the Quantum Future
The newly secured funding will be used to enhance the performance and scalability of Quobly’s quantum computing platform while accelerating the industrialisation of its silicon quantum processors.
Investment will also support continued development of the company’s hardware, software, and control electronics through its system level co design approach.
As global competition intensifies in quantum computing, Quobly is positioning itself as a key European contender seeking to bridge the gap between scientific innovation and commercial deployment. By combining quantum technology with established semiconductor manufacturing methods, the company aims to make scalable quantum computing a practical reality for industry, research, and high performance computing applications.
