EigenQ and Silicon Valley Acquisition (SVAQ) have entered into a definitive business combination agreement that is expected to result in EigenQ becoming a publicly traded company.
The proposed merger is expected to support EigenQ’s next phase of growth, including expansion of its quantum-proof trust infrastructure platform, hardware-rooted security technologies, AI security capabilities, strategic partnerships, global commercialization efforts, and continued investment in high-performance computing and sovereign AI futures.
EigenQ develops quantum technologies designed to address critical challenges spanning cybersecurity, digital trust, AI infrastructure, communications, sensing, and advanced computing.
Through a growing portfolio of intellectual property, strategic partnerships, and commercial products, EigenQ is building technologies intended to support multiple segments of the emerging quantum economy.
EigenQ said the most significant market demand in quantum technology is for quantum-proofing critical infrastructure.
“We believe this demand is being accelerated by US government security requirements related to emerging quantum threats, including CNSA 2.0 and NIST standards. We believe these requirements are driving demand for hardware-rooted, quantum-resilient trust infrastructure,” the company added.
Critical infrastructure operators, defense organizations, and enterprise technology providers are also modernizing legacy environments to support increasingly connected, autonomous, and data-intensive operations. These parallel transformations are driving demand for technologies capable of delivering trust, security, intelligence, and performance at scale.
EigenQ believes that this market demand represents one of the most significant infrastructure modernization cycles in decades, creating opportunities across multiple technology markets rather than within a single product category.
EigenQ develops quantum technologies related to quantum security and cyber resilience, quantum AI, quantum communications and networking, quantum sensing and intelligence, and quantum computing.
The firm has focused on innovation and commercialization, translating years of research and development into deployable, market-ready solutions that are aligned with current regulatory requirements, customer needs, and procurement frameworks.
Initial commercialization efforts are focused on government, defense, and critical infrastructure markets, where regulatory requirements and security mandates are creating immediate demand. Subsequently, the company expects to expand across enterprise infrastructure, artificial intelligence platforms, financial services, telecommunications, healthcare, industrial systems, and international markets.
Jesse Van Griensven Thé, chairman of EigenQ, said the world is entering the early stages of a profound technological transition driven by the convergence of quantum technologies, artificial intelligence, advanced communications, and trusted digital infrastructure. For more than a decade, the company has focused on developing the foundational technologies required to support this transition.
José R. Rosas-Bustos, CEO of EigenQ, said that going public will provide the resources, visibility, and strategic flexibility necessary to accelerate commercialization, expand their technology portfolio and strengthen their global partnerships.
“When we combine a mandatory market transition, differentiated technology, scalable distribution, a capital-efficient operating model, and compelling unit economics together with the company’s rapid commercialization and potential long-term upside, we believe EigenQ represents one of the most compelling opportunities we have evaluated in years,” said Dan Nash, CEO of SAAQ.
The merger agreement has been unanimously approved by the respective board of directors of SVAQ and of EigenQ.
The proposed transaction values EigenQ at a pro forma enterprise value of approximately $3 billion. It is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
