The commercial promise of quantum technologies is driving activity in companies big and small around the world. Here in Singapore, we are proud to see some former colleagues becoming entrepreneurs to create real-world impact. There are six young companies in quantum technologies in Singapore with strong links to CQT and NUS. S-Fifteen Instruments and SpeQtral are spin-offs that have licensed technology. AngelQ, Atomionics, Entropica Labs and Horizon Quantum Computing are startups founded by CQT staff and alumni. Check the company’s websites for more details.

Spin-offs
