Europe Launches Euro-Q-Exa Quantum Computer in Germany, Strengthening Sovereign Digital Infrastructure

MUNICH, Germany - Friday, 13. February 2026

Euro-Q-Exa will serve the scientific community and industry across Germany and Europe, enabling hands-on quantum research and application development within Europe’s HPC ecosystem.

Installed, hosted, and operated at Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ), ensuring local control, operational expertise, and long-term capability building.

Developed by IQM Quantum Computers using its Radiance platform, designed to enable institutions to build, operate, and evolve their own quantum capability. Engineered for deep integration with high-performance computing, supporting scalable hybrid quantum–HPC workflows.

Co-funded by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR), and the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts (StWK).

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Euro-Q-Exa, the first EuroHPC Joint Undertaking quantum computer deployed in Germany, has been unveiled at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) in Garching, Munich.

The deployment marks a significant step in Europe’s effort to build long-term quantum capability as part of its sovereign digital infrastructure, alongside world-leading high-performance computing (HPC).

Installed, hosted, and operated at LRZ, Euro-Q-Exa is designed not merely to provide access to quantum computing, but to enable European researchers to build, operate, and scale quantum capabilities locally. By embedding the system within an established HPC environment, the system supports the development of hands-on expertise, operational know-how, and sustainable research capacity within Europe.

Euro-Q-Exa strengthens Europe’s quantum ecosystem by enabling:

Local capability building – Researchers operate, maintain, and evolve the system directly, developing practical expertise rather than relying on remote, black-box access.

European IP creation and retention – algorithms, workflows, and applications developed on Euro-Q-Exa remain within European institutions, supporting long-term scientific and industrial value creation.

Deep HPC–quantum integration – tight coupling with LRZ’s supercomputing infrastructure enables realistic hybrid quantum–classical workflows and faster progress from experimentation to application.

Ecosystem collaboration – universities, research institutes, and industry partners share a common platform to test use cases, train talent, and build interoperable solutions.

The system is based on IQM’s Radiance platform and features 54 superconducting qubits. Euro-Q-Exa will be complemented by a second, more powerful system of 150 qubits by the end of 2026, further expanding Europe’s operational quantum capacity.

By integrating Euro-Q-Exa directly into LRZ’s supercomputing environment, European researchers can develop, test, and scale hybrid quantum–HPC applications in areas such as neurodegenerative disease research, computational pharmacology, and climate modelling. This approach allows quantum technologies to mature within operational research environments and supports their transition toward sustained scientific and industrial use.

Euro-Q-Exa is one of six quantum computers being integrated into Europe’s most advanced supercomputing centres, alongside installations in Czechia, France, Italy, Poland, and Spain, reinforcing Europe’s coordinated approach to sovereign digital infrastructure.

Henna Virkkunen, European Commission’s Executive Vice-President for Technological Sovereignty, Security and Democracy: “As the quantum market is still nascent, the European Commission is actively shaping it: Through EuroHPC, and together with Member States, we have already procured and co-funded the first six European quantum systems. Four are operational, and two more are under procurement. This is a clear demonstration of Europe’s commitment to building sovereign quantum capacity on our own continent. The Leibniz Supercomputing Centre stands as a concrete example of this ambition in action. It shows how we can successfully support and scale up leading European providers such as IQM, who are at the forefront of quantum innovation. By anchoring these systems in Europe, we are strengthening our industrial base and ensuring that strategic technologies are developed and deployed in Europe, for Europe. With the new system — and its substantial upgrade planned for early 2027 — we are already enabling complex quantum computations today. This is not a distant promise; it is operational reality.”

Markus Blume, Bavarian Minister of State of Science and the Arts: “Germany's first European quantum computer is being installed at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre in Bavaria, which is no coincidence, but the result of our strong high-tech ecosystem. The fact is: Euro-Q-Exa is much more than just a new computer. It represents technological sovereignty and our ambition to develop our own digital infrastructure. At Germany's largest research campus in Garching, a vibrant hub for European ideas, we are combining quantum computing, supercomputing and artificial intelligence to create new dimensions in computing. This is precisely why we are also applying to host an AI gigafactory. Projects like this demonstrate Bavaria's readiness to take responsibility for Europe's digital future. Garching is sending out a strong signal: this is where the computing resources that enable innovation and strengthen our technological capabilities are being created – this is where the future is not only being conceived but also being calculated.”

Anders Dam Jansen, Executive Director EuroHPC Joint Undertaking: “The inauguration of Euro-Q-Exa represents another milestone in our journey towards a world-class European quantum computing infrastructure. This new EuroHPC quantum system reinforces our commitment to providing researchers, industry, and the public sector with cutting-edge computational resources, fostering innovation and technological sovereignty across Europe.”

Prof. Dieter Kranzlmüller, Chairman of the Board of Directors, LRZ: “With Euro-Q-Exa, we are combining the strengths of quantum and supercomputing. This gives researchers the opportunity to test new approaches and implement groundbreaking calculations, opening up new scientific dimensions using European technology. Here at LRZ, we are looking forward to embarking on some exciting research projects and gaining new insights.”

Dr Jan Goetz, CEO of IQM Quantum Computers: “The countries that own their open quantum infrastructure, not just access to the cloud will lead. Europe is building toward that: locally operated systems, education of the new generation, hybrid HPC integration, and the institutional expertise that only comes from ownership.”

Align Partners Issues Formal Shareholder Proposals to Gabia

 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Align Partners Capital Management Inc. (“Align Partners”), a shareholder of Gabia, Inc. (“Gabia” or the “Company”), has submitted formal shareholder proposals for inclusion in the agenda of Gabia’s upcoming 27th Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) and issued a call for strengthened governance practices to address the Company’s persistent undervaluation.

Align Partners noted that, as shareholder proposals will be presented at this year’s AGM, Gabia should follow the Korea Exchange (KRX) Corporate Governance Key Indicators by publishing the AGM convocation notice at least four weeks prior to the meeting date. Align Partners emphasized that last year’s AGM notice was issued only 16 days before the meeting, limiting shareholders’ ability to adequately review the agenda and exercise informed voting rights.

Gabia is widely recognized as a leading Korean IT services and cloud infrastructure company with solid operating performance. Despite these strengths, Align Partners believes the Company continues to trade at a substantial valuation discount. Based on the closing price on February 11, 2026, Align Partners estimates that the stand-alone enterprise value of Gabia’s core business segments, excluding its listed subsidiaries, is approximately KRW 155.0 billion under a sum-of-the-parts (“SOTP”) methodology. This implies a stand-alone last-twelve-month EV/EBITDA multiple of approximately 6.0x, significantly below the peer average of approximately 12.0x.

Align Partners views this discount as structural and driven in part by shareholder value dilution arising from Gabia’s multiple-listing structure. Align Partners stated that, despite prior requests for the Company to address this issue, Gabia’s response has been insufficient. Accordingly, Align Partners has decided to proceed with formal shareholder proposals for the upcoming AGM.

Align Partners submitted the following shareholder proposals for shareholder vote at the 2026 AGM:

Approval of a cash dividend of KRW 180 per share.

Election of directors to strengthen Board independence. Align Partners noted that three of the Company’s four directors are affiliated with the controlling shareholder, limiting independent oversight. Align Partners nominated the following candidates:

Bryce Jun (Vice President, Align Partners; former Morgan Stanley Investment Banking professional and M&A specialist) as a non-executive director.

Se-Young Choi (Executive Vice President / CFO of INVENI; former Samil PwC finance professional) as an independent director.

Approval of the CEO’s compensation limit, with the objective of linking executive pay more closely to long-term performance and shareholder value creation.

(Advisory proposal) Recommendation that the Company disclose director and executive compensation frameworks in a more detailed and transparent manner.

Align Partners stated that these proposals are intended to improve governance oversight, enhance transparency, and restore investor confidence in Gabia’s capital allocation discipline and long-term strategic direction.

For additional details, including the full shareholder proposal, please visit www.alignpartnerscap.com.

Sisvel Website Now Available in Chinese and Japanese

 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Chinese and Japanese language versions of the Sisvel corporate website are now live, delivering an enhanced experience for users in two of the world’s key technology markets. The move also reflects the growing role of Asia-based innovators and implementers in Sisvel licensing programmes.

The localised sites will enable more SEP licensing stakeholders to access patent pool information and programme details in their native languages. All versions of the website will be updated continuously to carry the full range of Sisvel news and insights.

“Sisvel is deeply embedded in the markets where we operate,” says Sisvel Executive Head of Brand Giulia Dini. “Our expanded online presence in Asia, which also includes the recent launch of an official WeChat channel, aligns with our growing physical footprint in the region. We look forward to driving the global conversation on patent licensing and innovation.”

In 2025, Sisvel appointed senior executives to run its operations in Japan and China. The company also opened an office in Shenzhen, its first in mainland China.

Access to the new websites can be found here:

Chinese: www.sisvel.cn

Japanese: www.sisvel.jp
