We build quantum processors for the million-qubit era.

Traditional electronics are not designed to perform at extreme temperatures. When it comes to space technologies, the challenge of chronically underperforming electronics has been widely recognized by the likes of NASA and DARPA (U.S. Department of Defense). So far, there has been no suitable solution in sight.

EARTO, the European Association of Research and Technology Organisations, awarded SemiQon and VTT first prize in the “Impact Expected” category on 14 October 2025 in Brussels for a pioneering cryogenic CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) chip innovation. The solution enables the full capacity of advanced CMOS functionalities at cryogenic temperatures, thereby unlocking new possibilities for quantum computing and space applications.

The former President and CEO of VTT, one of Europe’s leading RTOs, joins SemiQon to guide the company’s growth and international expansion.
