Value proposition

Delivers quantum-level computational efficiency on classical hardware today, enabling enterprises to run complex optimizations and massive AI models with significantly reduced energy, memory, and cost.

Products and solutions

["Singularity: A user-friendly platform for quantum-inspired optimization and insurance/finance modeling.","CompactifAI: A tool using tensor networks to compress Large Language Models (LLMs), reducing size and power consumption by up to 90%+. ","Foresight: A solution for creating digital twins and performing large-scale industrial simulations.","Quantum-Inspired Cybersecurity: Advanced algorithms for threat detection and cryptographic resilience."]

Unique value

The company is a pioneer in applying 'Tensor Networks'—a mathematical framework derived from quantum physics—to classical data problems, allowing for 'quantum' benefits without waiting for fault-tolerant quantum hardware.

Target customer

Fortune 500 companies, financial institutions, energy providers, aerospace manufacturers, and AI labs/developers.

Industries served

["Finance and Banking","Energy and Utilities","Manufacturing and Industry 4.0","Aerospace and Defense","Artificial Intelligence (Infrastructure)"]

Technology advantage

Hardware-agnostic approach; their software runs on current CPUs and GPUs but is 'quantum-ready,' providing a seamless transition path as quantum processors (QPUs) mature.

How they differentiate

Proprietary use of 'Tensor Networks' to deliver quantum-level computational efficiency on classical hardware today, specifically through CompactifAI which compresses LLMs by over 90% without significant accuracy loss.

Main competitors

["Zapata AI","Terra Quantum","QC Ware","Neural Magic"]

Key partnerships

["NVIDIA (Inception program and GPU integration)","IBM Quantum (Network partner)","Microsoft Azure Quantum & AWS Braket (Cloud distribution)","Industrial collaborators: Bosch, BASF, and Iberdrola","Hardware partners: IQM, Pasqal, and ORCA Computing"]

Notable customers

["BBVA","BASF","Bosch","Iberdrola","Credit Agricole","European Space Agency (ESA)"]

Major milestones

["Winner of the DigitalEurope Future Unicorn Award 2024","Launch of CompactifAI for large-scale LLM compression and efficiency","Secured €189M Series B funding in June 2025 to scale AI infrastructure","Reported seeking a €500M funding round in February 2026 for global expansion"]

Growth metrics

Team size of 160-170 employees; over 100 patent applications filed; recognized as a Gartner Cool Vendor.

Market positioning

Global leader in quantum-inspired AI infrastructure and industrial optimization software.

Geographic focus

Global (Headquartered in Spain with major operations in Canada, France, Germany, United Kingdom, and the United States).

Patents and IP

Maintains a robust IP strategy with over 100 patent applications filed globally, primarily focused on tensor network methods, quantum algorithm optimization, and efficient AI training techniques.
