Orange Quantum Systems (OrangeQS), a Delft-based spinoff from Qutech and TNO, has raised 12 million euros in seed funding to accelerate the rollout of its quantum chip testing equipment. The round was led by Icecat Capital and joined by QDNL Participations, Quantum Delta NL and impact investor Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO).
The funds will be used to scale OrangeQS’s production of its testing solutions – Max, Flex and Juice – that are tailored to the needs of quantum chip developers. The company aims to solidify its position in the emerging quantum supply chain by expanding its team, enhancing production capabilities and refining its technology stack to support multi-qubit chip testing and calibration at scale.
OrangeQS’s Flex and Max platforms are designed to speed up and automate the testing of superconducting quantum processors. The Juice software stack complements these systems by integrating advanced control and data analysis tools, a critical requirement as quantum processors grow more complex. With the new funding, the startup plans to double down on R&D to ensure its tools meet the industry’s need for a scalable testing infrastructure.
