Arkeon Secures €594.2k in Seed Funding to Advance Quantum Chip Production

Arkeon Technologies Secures Seed Funding for Quantum Computing Technology

Arkeon Technologies, a DeepTech startup based in Gothenburg, has successfully closed a Seed round of €594.2k (SEK 6.5 million) to support their innovative technology aimed at enhancing precision and quality in the production of quantum chips.

The funding for Arkeon was provided by Chalmers Ventures, Navigare Ventures, and Almi Invest.

“We are witnessing a growing interest in our solution. As quantum chips continue to evolve, there is a greater need for adjustments and optimizations without the need for a complete redesign of the manufacturing process. With this funding, we can further develop our technology and strengthen our relationships with customers,” stated Peter Hörstedt, the CEO and co-founder of Arkeon.

Established in 2025 by Peter Hörstedt, Andreas Nylander, and Marcus Rommel, Arkeon specializes in developing a method for superconducting quantum chips that allows for the adjustment of qubit frequencies post-fabrication to enhance precision, quality, and yield.

Even slight variations in production can lead to underperformance of chips, impacting accuracy and yield. Arkeon’s approach involves fine-tuning each chip after production to create more stable and reproducible systems.

The company’s unique approach enables individual tuning of each chip after manufacturing, resulting in improved performance and reduced production costs. Arkeon utilizes controlled current pulse-trains through the junction barrier to adjust junction resistance, optimize frequency placement, and enhance wafer-level yield.

Initially targeting the superconducting quantum processors market, Arkeon has garnered interest from both industrial companies and leading research institutions collaborating to scale complex systems. The company has secured letters of intent from multiple potential customers and maintains a pipeline of around 30 companies.

“Arkeon is addressing a critical challenge faced by the quantum industry in its next phase. What sets them apart is their innovative approach, clear use case, and early market traction. This solution has the potential to play a significant role as quantum systems progress towards industrial deployment,” remarked David Storek, Investment Director at Chalmers Ventures.

With this funding, Arkeon plans to further develop their technology, validate with customers, and prepare for entry into the international market. They also aim to expand their portfolio in next-generation computing and companies tackling technical challenges in emerging industries.
