Israel's quantum computing startups conquer the global market!

Tel Aviv, Israel - The world of Quantum Computing picks up speed and Israel plays an increasingly important role in this fascinating sector. A current report by Calcalist brings a breath of fresh air to the discussion. In cooperation with Deloitte Catalyst, Earth & Beyond Ventures has published a detailed map of the Quante Computing market in Israel that identified nine key startups. In total, these companies have collected around $ 650 million in financing, of which over $ 300 million in 2025. This impressively shows that Israel is on the best way to establish itself globally in the quantum area.

The largest among these startups are Quantum Machines with USD 170 million and Classiq with $ 110 million in investments. But companies such as Quantum Source, Qedma, Quantum Art, Quamcore, Qarakal, Quantymize and Quantum Transistors have also made considerable progress. Although Israel appears rather modest compared to the national quantum initiatives of the United States and China, the dynamics and innovative strength is obvious. Over 20 countries worldwide operate national quantum programs and invest a lot in research, infrastructure and the development of specialists.

The landscape in Israel

like Israel21c a variety of about 20 quantum computing companies in Israel was identified. The core actors include Quantum Machines, which offers a platform for scaling quantum calculations, and Classiq Technologies, which specializes in the development of accessible quantum algorithms. These companies are characterized by innovative approaches: Quantum Source Labs strives to create scalable quantum processors, while Quantum Art Iontrapped quantum computer develops that gain efficiency through super frozen ions.

The Israeli government has also initiated a national program with a budget of 100 million shekel (around $ 27 million) to create the Israeli Quantum Computing Center (IQCC). This is considered an important support for the local start-up scene, even if public investments are rather low compared to the billions of US and Chinese initiatives. However, private capital sources are shown as a driving force behind the Israeli quantum startups.

innovation and growth

The Israeli start-up Classiq Technologies, founded in 2020, has an ambitious goal: the revolutionation of the quantum computing software landscape. With investments of $ 110 million, the company has already secured partnerships with giants such as Google, Nvidia and Microsoft Azure Quantum. CEO Nir Minerbi compares the development of quantum computing with the rise of personal computers in the 80s. Planting the number of employees in the coming years and to expand to international markets.

The demand for quantum computing solutions in industries such as finance, automotive industry, automation and pharmacy is growing rapidly. In June 2024, the first quantum computing center was opened at the University of Tel Aviv to take into account the need for innovative research. In addition, the first quantum computer produced in Israel was presented in December 2022 - an important step for the country in the global quantum landscape.
