Quantum Foundry Copenhagen Plans 5,300-Square-Meter Chip Facility
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
Quantum Foundry Copenhagen announced plans to build a 5,300‑square‑meter quantum chip fabrication plant in Copenhagen, slated to open in 2027. The facility will integrate nanofabrication, characterization, testing, assembly, packaging, and ultra‑high‑vacuum manufacturing to produce next‑generation quantum processors. The Novo Nordisk Foundation has pledged over DKK 2.9 billion (€390 million) to quantum technologies, including a program aiming for a fault‑tolerant quantum computer by 2034. The plant will supply wafer fabrication services to global quantum vendors and strengthen Europe’s commercial quantum capabilities.
