Classiq, a leader in quantum software development platforms, announced an investment by SoftBank Vision Fund 2, with additional participation from CDP Venture Capital, Italy’s largest venture capital operator—further strengthening Classiq’s position as the foundation for enterprise-scale quantum computing.
The new capital will be used to accelerate product development, expand global partnerships and deepen customer engagements across industries including finance, automotive, telecommunications, energy, chemistry, and pharmaceuticals.
“SoftBank and CDP Venture Capital bring bold, long-term perspectives to deep tech,” said Nir Minerbi, CEO and co-founder of Classiq. “Their support reflects a strong belief in Classiq’s mission to unlock quantum computing for real-world applications and to shape the future of this transformative technology.”
According to the company, SoftBank Vision Fund 2’s investment followed an in-depth evaluation by the company’s R&D team, which validated Classiq’s ability to generate high-performance quantum circuits that reduce computational costs and deliver superior results on today’s hardware. This alignment of technical vision strengthens the companies’ shared belief in the commercial viability of quantum computing in the near term.
Classiq’s high-level development platform enables enterprises and researchers to design, synthesize, and optimize sophisticated quantum circuits while abstracting away hardware-specific complexities. This approach makes quantum software development more accessible, scalable, and future-ready across a wide range of use-cases, the company said.
CDP Venture Capital’s participation reflects strategic commitment to accelerating innovation and securing digital sovereignty in Italy through investment in foundational technologies such as quantum computing. Its support marks an important milestone in strengthening Europe’s deep tech capabilities, Classiq said.
