Calgary, Alberta - February 23, 2026
SuperQ Quantum Computing Inc. (CSE: QBTQ) (OTCQB: QBTQF) (FSE: 25X) has announced a transformative strategic partnership with the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM, a prominent member of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Europe’s largest applied research organization. This collaboration is formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), aimed at fostering technical evaluation and research-oriented cooperation in quantum and hybrid optimization.
Entering the European Quantum Ecosystem
This partnership signifies SuperQ's official introduction into the European quantum market. Collaborating with Fraunhofer ITWM not only mitigates risks associated with SuperQ's commercial roadmap but also unveils new opportunities within Europe’s industrial landscape, encompassing both Mittelstand enterprises and Fortune 500 companies. SuperQ is evolving from a North American innovator to a recognized global player.
Engineering the "Quantum Utility" Era
The MoU will facilitate a variety of technical exchanges and exploratory activities, which include:
- Independent Technical Assessment: A thorough technical evaluation of SuperQ's platform by Fraunhofer ITWM, which aims to identify capabilities and limitations, potentially accelerating enterprise adoption.
- Joint Research & Funding Opportunities: The partners will investigate participation in European and international publicly funded research initiatives, enhancing R&D activities with non-dilutive capital across sectors such as energy, logistics, and machine learning.
- The "Hybrid" Advantage: This collaboration emphasizes SuperQ's unique strategy that integrates gate-based quantum computing, quantum annealing, and classical high-performance computing into a cohesive workflow.
Dr. Muhammad Khan, CEO and Board Chair of SuperQ, remarked, "This is not just a geographic expansion; it is a validation of our 'One-Click' philosophy by the most respected names in industrial mathematics. Investors should recognize that we are moving beyond the 'quantum lab' phase. Working with Fraunhofer ITWM allows us to engage with one of Europe's leading applied mathematics institutes in a rigorous and practice-oriented setting, transforming complex mathematics into executive-ready ROI."
Strategic Integration & Market Impact
As part of this collaboration, Fraunhofer ITWM will assess the Super™ platform for performance, scalability, and potential integration into its high-performance computing infrastructure for industrial-scale simulations and algorithm acceleration. This ensures that as quantum hardware develops, SuperQ's software remains an essential tool for industrial-scale simulations. Together, the partners aim to create and evaluate hybrid quantum-classical computing workflows that combine various computing methods to improve modeling, simulation, and optimization in fields such as logistics, energy, manufacturing, finance, and defense.
Dr. Pascal Halffmann, Research Coordinator for Quantum Computing at Fraunhofer ITWM, expressed, "Fraunhofer ITWM is dedicated to bringing cutting-edge innovation into industrial practice. By coupling our expertise in quantum algorithms and HPC with SuperQ's orchestration technologies, we aim to advance next-generation computing for industrial applications."
