QuiX made it to the ‘Silicon 100: Startups Worth Watching in 2021’

Following up on yesterday’s post, being in the “Silicon 100: Startups Worthing Watching in 2021” is another great achievement!

The 21st revision of the EE Times Silicon 100, the annual list of electronics and semiconductor startups to watch, tracks the pulse of the industry to identify emerging technology trends and developments that hold promise for the future.

EE Times has been publishing and updating its list of emerging startups since 2004, reflecting corporate, commercial, technology and market conditions. This year’s edition is the second to include an expanded list of 100 emerging electronics and semiconductor startups.

“The takeaways are the continued rise of China with even more startups from China represented,” said Peter Clarke, the veteran technology and business journalist who compiled and curated the EE Times’ Silicon 100. “Another trend has been a marked increase in the money being provided by rounds of financing. And complementary to the rise of China, there has been a slight reduction in the number of startups from Europe and North America.”

This year’s edition also analyzes the Silicon 100 by technical category. We have divided the technology universe into 22 categories ranging from materials and packaging at a fundamental extreme to quantum computing and security at the highest level of abstraction.

QuiX Quantum becomes a member of the ARENA2036 research campus
QuiX Quantum becomes a member of the ARENA2036 research campus
ARENA2036 welcomes the QuiX Quantum team to the ecosystem! The Dutch-German company takes Europe's leading position in the field of photonic quantum computing and enriches the research campus with another key technology. The special thing about the QuiX Quantum technology is that when using photonic quantum computing, only the competitors have to dress warmly. The photonic processors can be operated almost entirely at room temperature, unlike the familiar method with superconducting qubits, and do not require costly and energy-intensive cooling. This technology offers potential for new applications and scaling possibilities from which many of ARENA2036 members will benefit.
