Classiq and TEA TEK Group are collaborating to establish one of Europe’s most significant quantum computing hubs.
Located in Naples, the hub is intended to become a center of excellence for quantum computing research, development and services across Italy and the European Union.
The hub will integrate quantum hardware with the Classiq software platform, creating a seamless, end-to-end quantum computing environment.
The solution will be the same technical solution as that adopted by the Quantum Computing Napoli (QCN) Lab at the University of Naples Federico II (UNINA), now with a capacity of 128 qubits.
The connection between academia and the commercial sector targets creating the conditions to build a dynamic ecosystem. Researchers, enterprises, public institutions and developers will be able to design, analyse and execute quantum programs through a single unified workflow — all delivered in Naples.
Services are expected to launch by the end of 2026, as the partners finalize the integration of the quantum computer into the Classiq platform.
TEA TEK Group will operate the AI-enhanced Classiq platform, equipped with modules for user management and resource allocation, enabling it to function as a full-spectrum Quantum as a Service (QaaS) provider.
TEA TEK Group’s Naples hub is designed not merely as a local asset, but as European-scale infrastructure — a candidate to be among the most strategically important quantum centers on the continent, combining hardware, software, applied research, talent development and commercial services in a way that few facilities in Europe currently offer.
The partnership is a direct expression of Europe’s drive to build sovereign quantum technology stacks and reflects the growing momentum of public and private investment in the region’s quantum future.
“TEA TEK Group is building a strategic quantum hub for Italy and Europe in Naples, and Classiq is proud to provide the software platform, the training programs, the automation and the technical foundation needed to make that vision practical at scale,” said Nir Minerbi, co-founder and CEO of Classiq.
Felice Granisso, CEO of TEA TEK Group, said the QaaS model they are building in Naples enables companies, financial institutions, pharmaceutical organizations and research centers to access quantum capabilities seamlessly without the substantial investment required to build their own infrastructure.
“A validation of this model is the fact that Classiq will redistribute compute hours to industrial operators, demonstrating that a scalable quantum value chain is already taking shape. Q-Day should not be viewed solely as a cybersecurity challenge: it marks the beginning of a new era of technological and industrial advancement, and this hub in Naples is our contribution to ensuring Italy and Europe are ready to seize that opportunity,” said Granisso.
