Finland’s IQM, a quantum computing startup, just raised $320 million to compete with U.S. giants like Google, IBM and IonQ.
🚨 Breaking News
IQM became Europe’s new unicorn, hitting $1B valuation with fresh funding, aiming to build powerful quantum computers and expand globally.
⚡ Wire Simplified
IQM raised $320M led by Ten Eleven Ventures and Tesi.
Valued at $1B+, making it a “unicorn.”
Company already sold 15 quantum machines (Radiance and Spark).
Europe only gets 5% of global private funding vs U.S.’s 50%.
Plans: expand to U.S./Asia and build developer-friendly software.

Europe finally has a serious quantum contender. But U.S. rivals like IonQ still dominate. Big win, but the race is tough.
