en.Wedoany.com Reported - eleQtron, a quantum computing company headquartered in Siegen and Hamburg, Germany, announced the completion of a €57 million (approximately $61.5 million) Series A funding round, one of the larger Series A rounds in the quantum computing sector. The round was led by Schwarz Digits, the IT division of the Schwarz Group, with participation from the European Innovation Council Fund, Earlybird, Ankaa Ventures, Precitec, NRW.BANK, and IFB Innovationsstarter. The funds will be used to expand production capacity and increase cloud access.

eleQtron's core technology is its proprietary MAGIC (Magnetic Gradient Induced Coupling) platform, which uses miniature microwave technology to manipulate ions, replacing the complex laser setups found in traditional ion trap systems. This design offers advantages in industrial scalability and helps reduce system complexity. The company currently has an order backlog exceeding €54 million (approximately $63 million), indicating market recognition of its technology.

Schwarz Digits' investment reflects Europe's strategy to strengthen digital sovereignty in key technologies such as quantum computing and artificial intelligence. eleQtron plans to provide scalable quantum solutions for industries including logistics, materials science, and cryptography by establishing an independent German IT infrastructure. The company currently employs over 100 people, and the new funding will help transition its systems from the laboratory to industrial-grade production, while also advancing the development of the national scientific ecosystem for Quantum-Accelerated High-Performance Computing (QHPC).
