AMIRES is sharing insights from Inpho Venture Summit 2024!
October 25AMIRES at Inpho Venture Summit: We are at the Forefront of Quantum Investment Dialogue
Last week, AMIRES was pleased to participate in the Inpho Venture Summit 2024, held in Bordeaux’s historic Palais de la Bourse. Representing AMIRES, Roman Pasek, alongside colleague Katarzyna Krzykawa, joined thought leaders from the venture capital and start-up communities to discuss key trends shaping the future of DeepTech investments. With a special focus on the dynamic landscape of quantum technology, AMIRES shared insights from the QU-TEST and QU-PILOT projects.
Key takeaways highlighted the diversity of quantum platforms under development: the need for greater funding consistency in Europe, and the anticipated consolidation of players in the quantum market through partnerships and mergers.
- Multiple Pathways for Quantum Advantage
While quantum technologies based on superconducting, photonics, neutral atoms, and other approaches compete for prominence, no clear front-runner has emerged. This aligns with major industry players opting to support diverse quantum technologies, signaling a non-exclusive path to quantum advantages.
- Funding Gaps and European Market Fragmentation
Although Europe leads in the number of quantum deals, the scale of investment is considerably lower than in the U.S. European start-ups face challenges in securing late-stage funding, indicating a need for a stronger investment ecosystem that bridges early- and later-stage capital.
- Market Consolidation on the Horizon
The fragmented investment landscape suggests that joint ventures, mergers, and acquisitions will likely reshape the market, encouraging more cohesive growth across the quantum sector.
These conversations and takeaways lay the groundwork for continued discussions on quantum investment at upcoming forums.
