Summary
Aqarios Quantum Technologies AG started trading on Börse Düsseldorf this week, giving Germany its first publicly listed pure-play quantum computing company.
The listing follows Aqarios’ transaction with Fonterelli SPAC 4 AG, which the company says will fund expansion of Luna, its quantum application platform.
Luna is built to let businesses use multiple quantum systems through one hardware-agnostic interface, reducing the need for specialized in-house quantum expertise.
Founded in 2021 as an LMU Munich spin-off, Aqarios already counts BASF, E.ON and MTU Aero Engines among partners and works with SAP and LMU in the QuCUN initiative.
The debut marks a new route for European investors to access quantum computing exposure as Germany pushes to build a domestic quantum ecosystem.
