Finland is emerging as a leader in quantum technology, developing everything from hardware to software to the infrastructure that makes it possible. National and EU funding are helping attract top researchers and accelerate innovation.
Quantum computing uses the principles of quantum physics to perform calculations far beyond the reach of today’s classical computers. It holds potential for breakthroughs in fields such as medicine, materials science and secure communications.
Helsinki-based IQM is scaling up superconducting quantum computers, while SemiQon, a VTT spin-off, is developing silicon chips designed for affordable and scalable systems. Algorithmiq brings expertise in quantum algorithms for drug discovery, and Bluefors underpins much of the field with its cryogenic refrigeration systems. Rounding out the picture, Quanscient is creating cloud-native simulation tools for engineering.
Together, they are laying the groundwork for large-scale quantum machines, quantum-safe encryption and new scientific breakthroughs, with Finnish companies expanding their operations at home and abroad.
