Grenoble-based quantum computing startup Quobly has secured €115 million in a funding round led by Bpifrance, SEALSQ, and STMicroelectronics, a move that underscores its commitment to industrial independence. The announcement comes just months after Quobly entered exclusive negotiations with SEALSQ for a potential majority takeover, which would have placed the company under external control. By instead opting for a collaborative investment, Quobly preserves its autonomy while gaining the resources and industrial partnerships needed to accelerate development of its silicon-based quantum processors. The involvement of heavyweight semiconductor players STMicroelectronics and SEALSQ signals strong confidence in Quobly’s technology and its roadmap toward scalable quantum computing. The capital will be used to ramp up industrialization, moving the startup closer to commercial production without sacrificing its strategic independence.
