The state-of-the-art quantum facility will strengthen Europe’s ability to design, manufacture and scale next-generation quantum chips, helping to position the continent as a global leader in quantum technology. Today, Quantum Foundry Copenhagen and the Novo Nordisk Foundation announce plans to establish a new 5,300 m² quantum chip fabrication facility in Copenhagen. The facility will develop and scale the advanced manufacturing equipment needed to produce the next generation of quantum chips and strengthen Europe’s position in an increasingly competitive global quantum landscape. While Europe has built one of the world’s strongest research environments in quantum science, global leadership in quantum technologies will ultimately depend not only on scientific breakthroughs, but also on the ability to turn these breakthroughs into commercial products at scale. The fabrication of high-quality quantum chips, the specialised core processing units inside a quantum computer, is a crucial part of that process. “Europe’s quantum ambitions depend on our ability to turn scientific excellence into industrial capability. Strengthening European capacity to develop and manufacture quantum chips is essential for our competitiveness, resilient supply chains and technological sovereignty. Building on the European Chips Act and the Quantum Europe Strategy, and looking ahead to the forthcoming Quantum Act, initiatives such as Quantum Foundry Copenhagen can contribute to the industrial ecosystem Europe needs to scale quantum technologies,” says Henna Virkkunen, Executive Vice-President of the European Commission for Technological Sovereignty, Security and Democracy. Quantum technologies have the potential to solve problems that are beyond the reach of today’s most powerful computers. In the future, they could help researchers develop new medicines faster, design more sustainable materials, optimise energy systems, and strengthen cybersecurity. Martin Lidegaard, Denmark’s Minister of Business and Competitiveness, says: “Technological breakthroughs happen when we succeed in turning new knowledge into value for both society and businesses.
