Grenoble, France-based Quobly, a quantum computing company, announced the closing of a €115 million Series A financing to accelerate the industrialization of its silicon-based quantum computers and bring its first commercial product to market by the end of 2026.
“The round is led by Bpifrance, SEALSQ and STMicroelectronics, with participation from the European Innovation Council (EIC Fund), Blast, ALIAD (Air Liquide Venture Capital) and existing investor Innovacom, bringing together leading industrial, sovereign and deeptech investors,” said Quobly.
“Existing shareholders also include the CEA, CNRS, Quantonation and Supernova Invest. Long-time investor Bpifrance is participating through the Deep Tech 2030 fund, managed on behalf of the French government as part of the France 2030 initiative.
“This financing will support continued R&D, industrialization efforts and international commercial expansion.”
This Series A marks a key step in Quobly’s roadmap to industrial-scale quantum computing, transitioning from early validation to the production of its first commercial systems.
Alloy Pioneer, the first computer in Quobly’s Alloy product line, is designed for early adopters in high-performance computing and research environments. The system will be accessible through the cloud in 2026, before deployment within HPC infrastructures in 2027.
Laurent Malier, Executive Vice President, Global Technology R&D, STMicroelectronics, said: “Quantum computing will achieve the scale needed by HPC customers only if breakthrough quantum systems can be industrialized and integrated with semiconductor-grade rigor and backed by a robust ecosystem.
“We are leveraging years of shared expertise in FD-SOI and deep technological collaboration to accelerate the commercialization of Quobly’s products thanks to a 300mm silicon fab environment. ST’s investment in Quobly further demonstrates our commitment to support its global ambitions.”
Gwenaël Hamon, Senior Investment Director, Bpifrance, said: “Our second investment in Quobly is fully in line with our ambition to support the emergence of sovereign technology champions. By choosing a quantum architecture compatible with established microelectronics industry standards, Quobly paves the way for the rapid and controlled industrialization of breakthrough technologies, an essential condition to ensure Europe’s strategic autonomy in quantum computing.”
Quobly chairman Philippe Delmas said: “Quobly represents a rare combination of breakthrough scientific capability and industrial execution discipline. The company is positioning itself at the intersection of quantum computing, semiconductor manufacturing and high-performance computing infrastructure, three strategic domains that will shape the next generation of computing technologies.”
