IQM Quantum Computers has strengthened its position in the global quantum technology market by securing €50 million in new funding. The company plans to use this investment to accelerate its research and development initiatives, expand into new markets, and further advance its quantum computing capabilities.
This latest funding round comes at a crucial stage for IQM, as the organization continues to build momentum in a rapidly evolving industry. Notably, the investment originates from funds and accounts managed by BlackRock, one of the world’s leading asset management firms. Importantly, the agreement was finalized prior to IQM’s recent announcement regarding its plans to go public through a merger with Real Asset Acquisition Corp., positioning the company for its next phase of growth.
Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Espoo, Finland, IQM has quickly emerged as a key player in the quantum computing space. To date, the company has raised over €600 million in funding, operates in more than 12 countries, and holds over 300 quantum-related patent applications. As a result, IQM continues to push the boundaries of innovation, with a strong focus on developing next-generation quantum processing units (QPUs).
Moreover, the newly secured funds will play a pivotal role in enhancing the company’s technological roadmap. By investing heavily in R&D, IQM aims to improve the performance and scalability of its quantum systems while also making them more accessible to enterprises and research institutions.
Commenting on the development, Dr Jan Goetz, CEO and co-founder of IQM, highlighted the strategic importance of the funding.
“The financing package comes at a pivotal time for IQM, as we build momentum for our next phase of growth. This financing further strengthens our capital structure, increasing the resources available to enable us to execute on our technology vision and expand into new markets.
“We build open and transparent quantum systems that institutions can operate directly, enabling hands-on use, long-term capability building, and full control over their quantum infrastructure. By making quantum computing accessible in this way, we are enabling ecosystems to grow, benefitting researchers, industries and partners.”
Furthermore, IQM’s growth trajectory reflects the increasing global demand for quantum computing solutions. In September 2025, the company raised $320 million in what was described as the largest Series B funding round in the quantum sector outside the United States. That funding enabled IQM to accelerate its expansion into international markets, particularly in the US, as quantum technologies began transitioning from research to real-world applications.
Overall, this new €50 million investment reinforces IQM’s ambition to lead the quantum computing revolution. By combining strong financial backing with cutting-edge innovation, the company is well-positioned to shape the future of computing and drive technological breakthroughs across industries.
