Leipzig Startup Saxonq brings quantum computing to Europe!

On April 2, 2025, the Leipzig Startup Saxonq announced a significant sales partnership with the Bechtle Group. From April 1, 2025, Bechtle will integrate the innovative quantum computers from Saxonq into its product portfolio. The aim of this collaboration is to make quantum computing from Europe available for industrial applications and to enable earlier access to this promising technology. Dr. Frank Schlichting, Managing Director of Saxonq, described the partnership as an important milestone and expression of trust in one's own technology.

The SaxonQ quantum computers are characterized by the fact that they can be used mobile and work at room temperature. These properties make them particularly attractive for industrial use. Quantum computers are able to solve complex optimization problems faster and more energy -efficient than conventional computers. Areas of application of this technology include artificial intelligence, decentralized energy systems and medical research

technological progress and market development

Bechtle's managing director Christian Behma emphasized that the collaboration should help customers prepare for the challenges in the field of quantum technologies. The partnership is expanding Bechtle's technology portfolio with mobile quantum computing solutions and helps to make the advantages of this key technology of the 21st century accessible to industrial applications. Quantum computers do not expect zero and one, but use overlaps of solutions, which leads to more efficient processing of complex problems.

Saxonq was founded in 2021 as a spin-off at the University of Leipzig and employs just more than 10 people, including mainly physicists and software developers. The company is financed by investor Q.24. Founder Marius Grundmann expressed that he estimated that quantum computers could be produced in large quantities in five to seven years, with a price of around $ 1,000 per system, even if no public price is currently mentioned for your system.

At the Hanover Messe, which runs until April 4, Saxonq will present its next generation of the quantum computer. Developments in quantum research are not only important for Saxonq. Other research institutes such as the Fraunhofer IIS are also researching hardware and software developments for quantum computers and work on the industrial use of these technologies. Initiatives such as the MQV (Munich Quantum Valley) research new methods and algorithms for the use of quantum hardware resources and contribute to the development of the promising field.

In summary, it can be said that the partnership between Bechtle and Saxonq not only drives the market development in the field of quantum computing, but also contributes to the fact that companies in Germany and Europe have faster access to this innovative technology.
