SuperQ Secures Strategic European Foothold via Landmark Partnership with Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM; Positions for Global Dominance in Hybrid Quantum

Executive Summary

• SuperQ Quantum Computing Inc. entered into a strategic partnership with the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM, formalized by a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
• The MoU will enable technical evaluation of SuperQ’s platform, joint research projects, and pursuit of European public‑funded non‑dilutive capital for applications in energy, logistics, manufacturing, finance, defense, and resource exploration.
• The collaboration de‑risks SuperQ’s commercial roadmap, expands its presence into the European industrial ecosystem, and positions its software as a “quantum operating system” for large‑scale industry simulations.

Key Details

• Partnership Scope: Joint technical assessment, exploratory research, and potential participation in EU/International publicly funded programs.
• Technical Assessment: Fraunhofer ITWM will evaluate SuperQ’s platform on performance, scalability, and integration with HPC infrastructure for industry‑scale simulation.
• Hybrid Quantum Advantage: Focus on integrating gate‑based quantum, quantum annealing, and classical high‑performance computing into a unified workflow.
• Target Application Areas: Logistics, energy systems, manufacturing, finance, defense‑related optimization, resource exploration, among others.
• Funding Opportunities: Collaboration may unlock non‑dilutive research funding to support R&D activities.
• Strategic Impact: Provides validation of SuperQ’s “One‑Click” quantum optimization approach and expands its market reach from North America to Europe’s industrial “Mittelstand” and Fortune 500 companies.
