Audacia celebrates the successful closing of the Quantonation II fund at €220 million

Audacia congratulates its partner Quantonation Ventures on the successful closing of its second fund, Quantonation II, which raised €220 million, exceeding its initial target of €200 million. This fundraising confirms Quantonation’s position as the world’s leading fund exclusively dedicated to quantum technologies, with approximately €325 million raised since its inception.

This success is based on strong international momentum, driven by European, North American, and Asian investors, and illustrates the rise of quantum computing on a global scale. The sector is now entering a new phase of maturity, marked by the progressive industrialization of technologies and the structuring of concrete use cases.

Charles Beigbeder, President of Audacia, emphasizes:

“The resounding success of this closing of the Quantonation II fund is fueled by the scientific excellence and methodical professionalism of the Quantonation Ventures team. This achievement is a source of immense pride for all the teams at Audacia.”

Founded in 2018, Quantonation Ventures is the first venture capital fund dedicated to quantum technologies. Through its commitment to Quantonation, Audacia has positioned itself from the outset as a pioneering player in financing disruptive innovations. The first fund, Quantonation I (€91 million), supported 27 companies in more than ten countries, helping to build credibility for these technologies among investors and industry leaders.

With nearly 40 companies supported, venture labs located at the heart of major global academic research hubs, and leading industrial partnerships, Quantonation has established itself as a key player in quantum venture capital. The success of Quantonation II demonstrates the development of an ecosystem capable of mobilizing significant capital to transform disruptive innovations into concrete industrial solutions.

This operation fully illustrates Audacia’s vision: to finance innovation in the service of major and sustainable technological transformations, by supporting entrepreneurial teams with high potential on strategic themes for the economy of tomorrow.
