IQM to Deliver Its First Quantum Computer in South America to Brazil’s Eldorado Research Institute

• This is the first quantum computer purchase by a private research institute in Brazil, which will enable researchers, engineers, universities, and industry partners to advance research and build capability locally.

CAMPINAS, Brazil & ESPOO, Finland, September 17, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IQM Quantum Computers (Nasdaq: IQMX), a global leader in superconducting quantum computers, today announced a purchase agreement with the Eldorado Research Institute to deploy its first quantum computer in South America, marking IQM's entry into the region.

The IQM Spark quantum computer will be installed at Eldorado's Campinas headquarters, about 100km northwest of São Paulo, in the first quarter of 2027, giving researchers, engineers, universities and industry partners direct access to quantum computers.

The agreement also includes remote access to IQM's 54-qubit cloud-based system in Europe, allowing Brazilian teams to develop applications on hardware they own and then move to larger-scale quantum workloads when a problem requires it.

"Brazil has the talent, the research base and the ambition to build a real quantum ecosystem. What's been missing is direct access to real quantum computers. Eldorado owning this system means Brazilian researchers, engineers and industry partners can start building real capability today, not waiting years to catch up," said Jan Goetz, CEO and Co-founder of IQM Quantum Computers. "This is our first step into South America, and we're approaching it the same way we have everywhere else: with a partner who wants to grow with their own infrastructure and shape how it's used."
