How has the quantum investments scene been changing over the quarters? We’ve tracked global investments in quantum startups from the second half of 2022 through the first half of 2024. Although the number of deals in the third and fourth quarters of 2023 was higher, the total amount invested was significantly lower. This is because these quarters saw more low-volume deals, unlike other periods, which featured substantial Series C, D, and E rounds. In Q3 and Q4 of 2023, the number of deals is significant, but they all amount to $389 – a sum much lower than in other periods where less deals took place. This contract can be explained by major late-stage investments done in late 2023/early 2024. These include a $500 million Series D investment in the U.S.-based startup SandboxAQ by Breyer Capital, T. Rowe Price, and TimeVentures and a $617 million Series E round for PsiQuantum, another U.S. startup, supported by the Australian National Quantum Strategy budget. The shift to smaller deals in late 2023 suggests caution in the market, but the large investments in SandboxAQ and PsiQuantum show the potential for big bets on promising startups. It is, however, once again showing a trend of American startups making fewer deals, but of higher value, while European companies tend to secure more deals, but with smaller investment amounts.   Within the Qu-Test and Qu-Pilot projects, we are diligently tracking all global investments and deals in the quantum technology sector. Our goal is to regularly share updates, so stay tuned for more valuable insights to quantum founders, investors, and professionals alike. Keep an eye on further insights!

The "Future of Computing – Made in NRW" conference, held on July 2, 2024, at the Forschungszentrum Jülich Research Centre highlighted North Rhine-Westphalia's (NRW) advances in neuromorphic, high-performance, modular supercomputing, edge, and quantum computing. Organised by Cluster NanoMikroWerkstoffePhotonik.NRW, Attendees, including our colleague Robert Harrison, from science, industry, and politics discussed these technologies' roles in driving digital innovation forward. The German state’s focus on key technologies like nanotechnology, microsystems, and photonics enhances global competitiveness and resource efficiency across sectors, will support future economic resilience.   In addition to meeting several clients, Rob was promoting the European Union’s QU-TEST & QU-PILOT projects. EU-based companies can now apply for support under the current open calls to use pilot lines and test quantum devices. Further details can be found on the home pages of the projects.

Today AMIRES had the pleasure of presenting the results of the Quantum Technologies Investment Report 2023 to the attendees of the Quantum Flagship Coordination Office within its Coordination and Support Action ‘QUCATS’. We were happy to share our insights, receive feedback and exchange ideas with Mattia Giardini, Dr. Clifford Murray, Markus Wilkens and other experts. We are looking forward to the ways QU-TEST & QU-PILOT can collaborate with QUCATS! Rudolf Fryček Roman Pašek Weronika Słomińska Dr. Claudius Klein Ziyad Amodjee Gabriele Bulgarini

How has the quantum investments scene been changing over the quarters? We reviewed the amounts invested in quantum startups since the second half of 2023 until now, both in Europe and globally. Investments in quantum have slowed down both in Europe and the rest of the world in 2023, in line with the previous findings signaling an “autumn” period in the market. The first quarter of 2023 shows considerable amounts of money invested, but this is mostly due to single exceptionally large sums invested in companies like Pasqal and SandboxAQ, making this period stand out. Later on, as predicted, after years of fluctuations, European investments have begun to stabilize, with no exceptional deals having happened in the last few months. Q1 2024, however, saw a surge in global investments, driven mostly by the Colorado-based Quantinuum’s impressive success in securing 300 mln dollars. We will have to wait and see if Europe experiences any significant deals as well. As is the case for most other sectors, quantum seem to be more reserved at the moment. However, as quantum technologies continue to mature and edge closer to practical applications, there is a promising likelihood of increased interest from private companies. Within the Qu-Test and Qu-Pilot projects, we are diligently tracking all global investments and deals in the quantum technology sector. Our goal is to regularly share updates, so stay tuned for more valuable insights to quantum founders, investors, and professionals alike. Keep an eye on further insights!
