Quantum Foundry Copenhagen Plans 5,300-Square-Meter Chip Facility

Insider Brief

• Quantum Foundry Copenhagen plans to open a 5,300-square-meter quantum chip fabrication facility in Copenhagen in 2027 to support commercial-scale manufacturing.
• The facility will combine nanofabrication, characterization, testing, chip assembly, packaging and ultra-high-vacuum manufacturing capabilities.
• The Novo Nordisk Foundation has committed more than DKK 2.9 billion (€390 million) to quantum technologies, including a program targeting a fault-tolerant quantum computer before 2034.

PRESS RELEASE — Today, Quantum Foundry Copenhagen and the Novo Nordisk Foundation announce plans to establish a new 5,300 m² quantum chip fabrication facility in Copenhagen. The facility will develop and scale the advanced manufacturing equipment needed to produce the next generation of quantum chips and strengthen Europe’s position in an increasingly competitive global quantum landscape.

While Europe has built one of the world’s strongest research environments in quantum science, global leadership in quantum technologies will ultimately depend not only on scientific breakthroughs, but also on the ability to turn these breakthroughs into commercial products at scale. The fabrication of high-quality quantum chips, the specialised core processing units inside a quantum computer, is a crucial part of that process.
