Seed
€5.0M

The Southampton quantum startup raised €5m from a syndicate including EIFO, UKI2S and MBDA to advance its cold atom technology.

"This funding marks an incredible opportunity for Aquark to take quantum technologies closer to broader use. We are proud to have such a strong syndicate supporting us as we achieve this goal. We are aligned in our vision to deliver quantum technologies that will have a beneficial impact on civilian life, infrastructure, and defence. In this way, we are excited to see Aquark continue to contribute to the UK, Europe, and NATO’s quantum strategies."
— Andrei Dragomir, CEO
