Investors
Information only, not investment advice. This view does not rate, score or recommend any company or investor. Figures are as published by the sources named, with their dates; missing evidence is shown as not covered, never as a low value.
An open, source-backed view of European quantum companies and their funding, assembled from data the portal already holds: CORDIS projects and EIC awards, patent families from the European Patent Office, publications from OpenAlex, the infrastructure deployment tracker, approved figures from published reports, and a curated file of publicly announced funding rounds.
The tabs above hold the company screener, the investor directory, the funding rounds tracker, the path from lab to market and ownership changes. This overview shows the market signals and how to read the figures.
Market signals
Figures from different sources, measures and years are shown side by side. They are never added together, averaged or ranked.

How to read these pages
- Companies are private for-profit organisations in CORDIS that take part in EU-funded quantum projects, in Europe, plus the companies of the curated rounds file. Universities and research centres are left out.
- EU contribution received is the net EU contribution CORDIS records for the company in those projects, not the whole project budget, and not a payment.
- EIC Accelerator is flagged only where the CORDIS funding scheme names it; the blended finance variant includes an EIC Fund investment component whose amount CORDIS does not record.
- Round amounts are as announced, in the stated currency. Totals add closed, disclosed investment rounds only, one line per currency; acquisitions, listings, targets, commitments and selections are never added.
- Private investment and public funding figures from reports are shown side by side and never summed.
This is a first pilot. Owner-reviewed for demonstration, 28 October 2026.
