According to Pasi Kivinen, Vice President of Operations at IQM, this will be one of the world’s most advanced production facilities for quantum computers, combining assembly lines and chip production. “This approach will enable us to scale up in critical areas which are essential to deliver quality, quantity and stable, advanced solutions to the market.” 

The facility expansion is designed to accelerate the development, fabrication and testing of advanced quantum processing units, supporting the company’s goal of delivering scalable, error-corrected quantum systems. Additional cleanroom equipment will enable IQM to pursue its development roadmap whilst scaling critical data centre infrastructure globally.

In line with environmental commitments, IQM is incorporating sustainability measures into the expansion. The company plans to install an abatement system to reduce direct emissions from production processes and transition to 100 per cent renewable district heating, working towards a carbon-neutral facility.

Jan Goetz, Co-CEO and Co-founder of IQM, emphasised the strategic importance of the investment: “By enhancing our fabrication capabilities to produce large-scale quantum chips for error-correction technology, we will not only better serve our customers but also reinforce our leadership in superconducting quantum computing.”
