About us
Given the complexity of the quantum technology market, the need for a specialised investor like QE is more critical than ever tonavigate and unlock the sector’s full potential for quantum businesses and investors alike.
As one of very few dedicated quantum technology funds in the world, Quantum Exponential’s unique positioning stems from theextensive experience and expertise of its team, its advisory board, and extensive network of partnerships. QE’s network provides aunique high-quality deal flow through referrals, databases, universities, quantum centres of excellence, and organisations such asthe Institute of Physics, through which over 500 potential deals from around the world — from early to late stage — have beenidentified.
The UK also hosts several quantum centres of excellence, many of which are part of the National Quantum TechnologiesProgramme (NQTP) — a £1 billion initiative supporting quantum innovation across academia, industry, and government.
Partnerships
The Photonics Centre of Excellence, ‘ICFO’
The ICFO is a Research Centre of Excellence based in Barcelona. It is an international leading research centre, founded in 2002 by the Government of Catalonia and Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – Barcelona Tech and is dedicated to advancing the very limits of knowledge in several fields of science and technology where photonic-tools and related concepts provide an edge. The institute is made up of 80 state-of-the-art laboratories whose research is devoted to science and technology of Photonics. ICFO proactively fosters entrepreneurial activities including collaborative activities, cooperation agreements, and participates in incubator activities. The centre has won competitive funding from the European Research Council, and a generous endowment from Fundació Cellex Barcelona, both of which allow the centre to pursue truly remarkable scientific discoveries.
Quantum Exponential become a member of the Corporate Liaison Programme at the Photonics Centre of Excellence in Barcelona in August 2022 [RNS 22 August 2022]. The membership aims to create collaborations and links between the Company and ICFO researchers, specially by allowing Quantum access to early-stage quantum technology companies and industry spin-offs.
