Q*BIRD Secures €2.5 Million in Funding to Revolutionize Quantum Secure Networking in Europe

We are thrilled to announce that Q*BIRD has successfully raised €2.5 million in its latest funding round, a significant milestone that underscores the growing interest and investment in the future of quantum networking. Founded in 2022 as a spinoff from QuTech, Q*BIRD is dedicated to advancing the European quantum internet by developing state-of-the-art equipment designed for both current and future applications. Our flagship technology, Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), enables multipoint-to-multipoint connectivity, ensuring improved security and cost-effective scalability for networks. This funding will play a crucial role in accelerating our ability to build devices that not only secure quantum communications today but are also future-proof, allowing for upgrades as technology evolves. Our vision extends beyond just networking; we aim to make general-purpose quantum connectivity a reality, ensuring that users can experience the benefits of a secure and robust quantum internet. This investment will bolster our research and development efforts and help us expand our talented team in Delft, The Netherlands, furthering our goal of leading the charge in quantum-secure networking solutions. If you’re as excited as we are about the potential of quantum technology and want to learn more about our innovations or explore career opportunities, we invite you to connect with us at www.q-bird.nl or reach out via email at info@q-bird.nl. Together, we are not just imagining the future of connectivity; we are actively building it.
