Breaking #quantum news from Innovation District Copenhagen and the Danish quantum ecosystem: World's largest Quantum Investment Fund Launched UCPH Quantum Hub - Københavns Universitet

Denmark’s launch of 55 North — now the world’s largest dedicated quantum venture fund — marks a bold pivot in Europe’s deep-tech strategy. Backed by EIFO and Novo Holdings, the €300m fund positions Denmark and the EU not just as quantum consumers, but as producers of next-generation computing infrastructure that will shape AI, cybersecurity, and national resilience. With leaders like Owen Lozman and Helmut Katzgraber steering the fund, this isn’t about research grants — it’s about building quantum capacity with commercial intent. As classical computing nears its limits, Europe’s investment signals a shift from theory to deployment, echoing the same strategic urgency we’ve seen in defence and energy tech. It’s a strong reminder that sovereignty in the 2030s won’t be defined by raw materials or even data — but by who controls the algorithms and processors that run the world’s most critical systems. #quantumcomputing #deeptech #innovation #europetech #strategicsovereignty

Tech investments are important for the future of the European economy. Good that the EIF commits € 260 million to French Jolt Capital under the ETCI (the European Tech Champions Initiative). Jolt is setting up the deep tech Jolt V Fund that will invest in European late-stage deep tech companies. The ETCI is a fund-of-funds that is launched in 2023 and will mobilise € 10 billion tech investments in European tech champions. European Investment Bank (EIB) European Investment Fund (EIF)

Morse Micro Completes Latest Funding Round Morse Micro has successfully raised a sum of USD 59 million (which equates to AUD 88 million) during its Series C funding round. The financial backing has come from the likes of MegaChips Corporation, National Reconstruction Fund Corporation, Blackbird, Main Sequence, Uniseed, Startmate, Hostplus, NGS Super and UniSuper, as well as several private investors. Using it, the Sydney-based wireless semiconductor company will be able to ramp up the manufacturing of its sub-GHz Wi-Fi HaLow system-on-chip (SoC) devices and extend the supporting ecosystem around them, as well as strengthening its commercial operations worldwide.     According to Michael De Nil, Morse Micro's CEO; “This funding is another strong vote of confidence in our mission to be the number one wireless IoT chip company in the world. The future of IoT depends on connectivity that is long-range, power-efficient, secure and delivers on throughput - and that’s exactly where we’re leading. With this raise, we are accelerating our expansion and preparing for the next phase of our company's growth.”   “We are proud to continue our support for Morse Micro as it leads the global transition to IoT 2.0. For a number of years, we have worked in partnership with Morse Micro to increase production and sales of its flagship Wi-Fi HaLow products. This investment reflects our belief that the time for Wi-Fi HaLow is now,” adds Tetsuo Hikawa, CEO of MegaChips Group. “Morse Micro is uniquely positioned to accelerate the adoption of next generation IoT solutions. We are confident this investment positions the team and technology for international leadership and future success on the public markets.”   “Morse Micro is Australia’s largest semiconductor manufacturer and a home-grown Australian success story. Wi-Fi was invented and patented by CSIRO scientists in 1993, and we are proud to be investing in an Australian company that is once again enabling next generation Wi-Fi connectivity for the rest of the world,” National Reconstruction Fund Corporation's CEO, David Gall, comments.

A new quantum chapter begins in Copenhagen. Today, Denmark and EIFO take a bold step into the quantum future. Together with Novo Holdings, Vsquared Ventures and Cambium Capital Management, we are proud to launch 55 North, the world’s largest venture fund dedicated exclusively to quantum technologies. This follows a strategic quantum objective set by the Danish Government two years ago. With a target size of €300 million, 55 North is a strategic investment in the future of computing, secure communication, healthcare and other fields where quantum will make a difference. Why is EIFO so focused on quantum?   Because this is about building critical infrastructure for the future. We want to help position Denmark and Europe strongly in a rapidly evolving global landscape.   This fund has been two years in the making. The EIFO team has mapped most of the European ecosystem, evaluated dozens of potential partners, and worked closely with the Novo team to make this happen.   The result, I believe, is pretty decent: 55 North is backed by an outstanding team with decades of experience building deep-tech companies across Europe and the US:   Owen Lozman Helmut G. Katzgraber Kai Hudek Michael Jobst David Moehring   In a way, the incubation of the quantum fund is a classic EIFO effort. Quantum is more complex than most things we do. But at the end of the day, it’s about orchestrating the right people and the right capital behind a strategic ambition.

Can Australia lead the Tough Tech transformation? We've got the innovation culture and natural resources, but the question is whether we can turn cutting-edge science into commercially viable solutions. 'Tough Tech' - where advanced science meets engineering and entrepreneurial grit - has the potential to reshape global energy and resource production. But as RFM (RFC Ambrian Funds Management) CIO Stefan Skorut notes: "No one will back a technology that doesn't create economic and societal value." Find out in the The Australian how RFM are combining industry experience with financial expertise to support Australia's Tough Tech ventures. 📖 https://lnkd.in/gcp6XFGb #ToughTech #Innovation #InstitutionalInvestors #MiningInvestment #CleantechInvestments #Decarbonisation #SustainableInvesting #ESGInvesting #VentureCapital
