Upon completion in the first quarter of 2026, the facility will enable IQM to manufacture more than 30 quantum computers annually, establishing one of Europe's largest integrated quantum production lines.
The investment follows IQM's recent Series B funding round exceeding $300 million and supports the company's roadmap toward delivering fault-tolerant quantum computing by 2030. It also advances longer-term goals, including the production of large-scale quantum chips required for error-correction technology.
"This will be one of the world's most advanced production facility for quantum computers combining assembly lines and chip production," said Pasi Kivinen, VP of operations at IQM Quantum Computers. "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 expansion is an important step to deliver next-generation quantum computers to serve our customers and also make a remarkable impact."
"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," said Jan Goetz, co-CEO and co-founder of IQM.
The upgraded site will incorporate state-of-the-art equipment for superconducting quantum chip fabrication, system assembly, and comprehensive testing under a single roof. This integrated approach is designed to improve performance, stability, and production consistency of next-generation quantum systems.
Environmental considerations are integrated into the design. The facility will feature emission abatement systems and operate entirely on renewable district heating, aligning with IQM's commitment to carbon-neutral operations.
The expansion strengthens Finland's and Europe’s quantum technology ecosystem by expanding local high-precision manufacturing capabilities. By maintaining full control over chip production and system integration within the region, IQM contributes to building resilient, sovereign supply chains for advanced quantum computing components.
The new Espoo campus will play a central role in accelerating the development and commercial availability of scalable, error-corrected quantum computers, supporting research institutions, enterprises, and government partners across Europe and beyond.
