Pioneers Working with Qilimanjaro:
Our Climb
Highlights from our path to the summit.
Birth of a Vision
Qilimanjaro is founded by a passionate team of experts: Dr. Pol Forn Díaz, Dr. Victor Canivell, Dr. José Ignacio Latorre, Jordi Blasco, and Dr. Artur Garcia Sáez.
Building the Future
We focused on building our lab, hardware, software, and theory teams, laying the path for groundbreaking advancements.
Quantum Leaps
Our first quantum computer is deployed in the United Arab Emirates, marking a major milestone. We joined the prestigious CUCO project, backed by CDTI and the Spanish Ministry of Science. We secured our first seven-figure investment and signed a second major contract to deliver a quantum computer in Southern Europe.
Taking the Stage
won Best Deep Tech Startup Award, closed our first investment commitment and closed our seven-digit client contract to deliver one of the first quantum computers in Southern Europe.
Achievements and Expansion
Qilimanjaro welcomed Dr. Marta Estarellas to the CEO role; we won the EIC transition grant for our RoCCQeT project and unveiled the first Quantum Computer in Spain at the BSC.
Soaring High
We finalised Phase II of the QuantumSpain project, installing a twin quantum computing system at the BSC. Qilimanjaro was recognized as the best digital startup, winning the 4YFN Awards during MWC. Later in the year, we inaugurated our new offices in Barcelona.
Major Quantum Milestones
We signed a contract to install a new quantum computer at the BSC.
During the year, we integrated the system with MareNostrum 5, making it the first analog quantum computer integrated into an HPC center in Europe.
In Q4, we inaugurated Europe’s first multimodal quantum data center, located directly beneath Qilimanjaro’s headquarters.
