IQM Quantum Computers Wins €100M+ Deal for Finland’s LUMI-IQ Hybrid Quantum-AI System — IQM Finland Oy

Event summary

IQM Quantum Computers (Nasdaq: IQMX) will deliver the IQM Halocene H4 quantum computer to Finland’s LUMI AI Factory, with first deployment scheduled for 2027.
The system will initially feature a 150-qubit QPU and evolve into a fault-tolerant quantum computer through phased upgrades.
Total contract value equals IQM’s full-year 2025 revenue (~€100M), funded by EuroHPC Joint Undertaking and four European nations.
LUMI-IQ will integrate with the LUMI supercomputer, creating a hybrid AI-quantum research platform for materials science, healthcare, and energy applications.

The big picture

This deal represents the largest single contract in IQM’s history and underscores Europe’s push to develop fault-tolerant quantum computing capabilities independently. The integration with LUMI—a top-tier supercomputer—positions Finland as a leader in hybrid AI-quantum research infrastructure. With 23 systems sold globally, IQM is emerging as the dominant supplier of on-premises quantum hardware.
