"A Paris-based venture firm that has quietly shaped the quantum technology scenery is now making a much louder statement about Europe's role in the future of computing, materials science, and sensing. Quantonation Ventures has today announced the successful close of its second flagship fund at €220 million, more than double the size of its first vehicle and a clear signal that institutional capital is flowing into technologies grounded in physics, not just software."
"Quantonation is not your typical venture capital firm. From its inception, it set out to invest in startups building real hardware and disruptive physics-based platforms, including quantum computing, sensing, communications, advanced materials, and what the industry calls "deep physics." The new Quantonation II fund attracted big names in institutional capital alongside strategic technology investors. Backers include the European Investment Fund, French public investor Bpifrance, Spanish construction and infrastructure group Grupo ACS, Denmark's Novo Holdings, Japanese tech giant Toshiba, and Singapore-linked Vertex Holdings among others."
