QuantWare secures $178M Series B to scale quantum chip production

QuantWare raised $178 million in a Series B round announced on 2026-05-05, with the company describing the financing as support for industrial-scale production of its superconducting quantum processors. The round was co-led by Intel Capital and FORWARD.one, with additional participation from IQT and ETF Partners, alongside existing backers including Invest-NL Deep Tech Fund, InnovationQuarter Capital, Ground State Ventures, and Graduate Ventures.

The company said the capital will be used to expand its VIO modular processor architecture and fund KiloFab, a Delft-based fabrication facility intended to increase production capacity. Multiple reports described the deal as one of the largest private rounds in quantum hardware and the largest raised by a dedicated quantum processor company, underscoring continued investor interest in the infrastructure needed to commercialize quantum computing.

QuantWare is based in Delft and focuses on designing and building quantum processors for industrial use. The company’s fundraising comes as the quantum hardware market remains capital intensive, with funding increasingly flowing to firms that can manufacture processors at scale rather than only demonstrate research prototypes.
