Superconducting platforms, low-temperature technology, and the full stack from lab to fab to company
Finland’s quantum ecosystem connects processors and cryogenics with control software, photonics, and advanced fabrication. Bluefors, IQM, SemiQon, Arctic Instruments, and QuantrolOx build different parts of the computing stack, from the systems that cool quantum devices to the software that automates their operation. Decades of research in low-temperature physics, materials, and electronics underpin this growing industry.
For founders, that means an ecosystem of specialist suppliers, research partners, and infrastructure for developing and testing technology. OtaNano and VTT’s Micronova facilities support device fabrication and characterisation, Kvanttinova connects companies with development partners, and FiQCI brings together quantum and high-performance computing resources. Research groups across Finland contribute expertise in computing, sensing, communications, and the technologies that enable them.
IQM builds superconducting quantum computers and provides on-premises systems and cloud services. SemiQon develops silicon-based quantum processors, drawing on semiconductor fabrication methods to work towards scalable devices. VTT contributes expertise in superconducting circuits, semiconductor technologies, fabrication, and the integration and testing of quantum systems.
Bluefors supplies cryogenic measurement systems and dilution refrigerators that cool quantum devices to millikelvin temperatures. Arctic Instruments develops travelling-wave parametric amplifiers for reading out weak signals from qubits with very low added noise. These technologies support the measurement and operation of superconducting quantum processors and other low-temperature devices.
QuantrolOx develops Quantum EDGE software to automate qubit bring-up, characterisation, and testing. Its software connects with quantum control hardware to reduce manual tuning work during processor development. Aalto University and VTT contribute research in control, measurement, and the microwave technologies used to operate superconducting quantum devices.
QMill develops quantum algorithms for industrial problems, including optimisation in areas such as energy and logistics. Quanscient combines its work in cloud-based multiphysics simulation with research into quantum simulation algorithms. VTT develops algorithms and explores applications in materials, industrial modelling, and optimisation. This work investigates where quantum methods can deliver practical value alongside classical computing.
Vexlum develops semiconductor laser systems for applications including neutral-atom and trapped-ion quantum technologies and optical atomic clocks. Tampere University contributes research in photonics, optoelectronics, and photon sources. VTT adds expertise in integrated photonics, cryogenic electronics, and packaging, connecting device development with the components and interfaces needed to build larger systems.
VTT develops superconducting sensors, single-photon detectors, and technologies for quantum communications. The University of Jyväskylä researches quantum sensors, materials, and semiconductor devices. The universities of Helsinki and Oulu contribute research in post-quantum cryptography: classical cryptographic methods designed to withstand attacks by quantum computers. These are distinct capabilities within Finland’s wider quantum ecosystem.
Build alongside companies developing quantum processors, cryogenic systems, readout amplifiers, control software, and lasers. Finland’s concentration of specialist suppliers and research expertise creates opportunities to develop a component, improve a subsystem, or build a complete computing platform.
OtaNano and VTT’s Micronova facilities support fabrication, characterisation, and testing of quantum devices. Kvanttinova connects founders with expertise and partners across microelectronics, photonics, and quantum technologies, helping turn research into prototypes and progress towards pilot production.
FiQCI brings together VTT, Aalto University, and CSC to provide quantum computing resources and training. The integration of quantum systems with LUMI’s high-performance computing environment supports the development and testing of workflows that combine classical and quantum computation.
Finland’s Quantum Technology Strategy 2025–2035 sets a long-term direction for research, infrastructure, talent, and company growth. The Finnish Quantum Flagship connects research institutions across the country, while the QDoc doctoral pilot supports 90 researchers at seven universities. Together, these initiatives strengthen the foundations for building quantum technology and businesses in Finland.

VTT supports quantum hardware and software development, with expertise in superconducting circuits, semiconductor devices, integrated photonics, and cryogenic electronics. Its work spans computing, sensing, and communications.
Micronova provides development and piloting infrastructure, while VTT’s quantum computing services support algorithm and application work. VTT also contributes to FiQCI and the NATO DIANA Secure Connectivity, Space and Quantum Test Centre.
The Finnish Quantum-Computing Infrastructure provides computing time and training for Finland’s research, development, and innovation community. It is jointly operated and developed by VTT, Aalto University, and CSC.
Its platform combines high-performance and quantum computing, supporting the development and testing of workflows that use both. Founders and researchers can explore the available computing resources, access routes, and practical learning materials through FiQCI.
Aalto University combines research in low-temperature physics, quantum materials, and device engineering. Its expertise includes superconducting processors, control and measurement, microwave components, and quantum error correction.
Through OtaNano, researchers and companies can work with fabrication, imaging, and low-temperature characterisation facilities. Quantum technology education and research collaborations connect this infrastructure with the people developing new devices, components, and computing methods.
InstituteQ brings together Finland’s universities, research organisations, and quantum industry. Its activities connect research, education, and innovation, helping people and organisations collaborate across the national ecosystem.
It hosts the Finnish Quantum Flagship and connects industrial partners through InnoQ. Its education activities include the QDoc doctoral pilot, which supports 90 researchers across seven universities and strengthens links between quantum research and industry.
Kvanttinova connects companies, researchers, and investors across microelectronics, photonics, and quantum technologies. Founded by VTT, Aalto University, and the City of Espoo, it helps founders find development partners, specialist expertise, and industry connections.
The ecosystem’s shared facilities support fabrication, characterisation, and pilot production. Kvanttinova helps companies navigate these resources and build collaborations around the components, devices, and systems they are developing.
