The Grenoble Startup Quobly, specializing in quantum microelectronics, announces funding of 21 million euros to accelerate the industrialization of its quantum chip on silicon to 100 physical qubits. This project, called Q100T, constitutes a decisive step to bring the quantum into a production phase compatible with the standards of the semiconductor industry.
The technology developed by quoly is based on the use of FD-SOI 300 mm plates, identical to those used in the manufacture of fleas for smartphones or the automobile. Unlike approaches based on heavy and complex cryogenic technologies, the choice of silicon allows industrial continuity with existing production tools. A strategic bet in a global race where the question of industrialization remains the main bottleneck.
This funding is made up of a subsidy of 15 million euros granted within the framework of France 2030 by Bpifrance, and an exceptional contribution of 6 million euros in equity per quoly. This last contribution testifies to the financial solidity of the startup, rarely observed at this stage of development in the Deeptech. “Our starting bet, making quantum an accessible, controllable and scalable technology, is becoming a reality,” says Maud Vinet, CEO and co -founder of Quobly.
The project is based on a strategic partnership established at the end of 2024 with Stmicroelectronics, which will ensure the industrialization of the component. Other key players in the French ecosystem of microelectronics also support the development of the startup, including Soitec, Air Liquide and Orano.
In addition to this dynamic, quoly has announced the appointment of Philippe Delmas as president of his board of directors. Former vice-president of Airbus, he is responsible for supporting the industrial power of the company and the structuring of Son Go-to-Market by 2027.
