Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech has launched its Quantum Data Center, the first multimodal quantum infrastructure in Europe. 

The center will host up to 10 quantum computers and will be able to serve thousands of users. This includes access to both digital and analog quantum computers. This combination, along with classical compute, allows users to match each use case with the most appropriate hardware.

“This center is much more than a technological facility; it is an open ecosystem where industry, research, and public institutions can prepare for the future. Quantum computing is not a distant promise, it is already transforming the way we understand innovation,” said Marta P. Estarellas, CEO of Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech.

Qilimanjaro claims that its differential analog quantum computing platforms are naturally suited for continuous and complex problems, such as the simulation of molecules, materials, and physical systems. It also offers new ways to train AI models and solve large-scale optimization challenges, opening a path to faster and more energy-efficient computing.   

Through its Quantum-as-a-Service (QaaS) platform SpeQtrum, Qilimanjaro will offer cloud-based access to analog and digital quantum computing for companies, research centers, and universities across Europe. 

José María García Orois, business development officer at Spanish Society for Technological Transformation (SETT), said he has watched Qilimanjaro grow both in its technological proposition and as a business of the future since the company was founded in 2019.

“SETT has not only invested in Qilimanjaro, but also remains firmly committed to supporting the company through its next stages of growth, which already position it as one of Europe’s leading references in quantum technologies,” he said.

The Quantum Data Center opens the door for European organizations to explore firsthand the real-world applications of quantum technology firsthand.  The combination of analog and digital quantum computing with HPC offers new insights into the simulation of new materials,  optimization of energy networks or logistics processes,  and the reduction of resources needed to train artificial intelligence models . 

“Qilimanjaro is a clear example of what we are capable of achieving when the country’s scientific and technological talent finds support, trust, and opportunities for growth,”  said Miquel Sàmper, Minister for Business and Labour at the Government of Catalonia.

For the development and consolidation of its project in Barcelona, Qilimanjaro has received support from the Department of Business and Labour, through Avançsa, from Agency for Business Competitiveness (ACCIÓ), via its line of grants for R&D business projects, as well as support from the SETT.
