Arkeon Technologies (Arkeon), a Gothenburg-based DeepTech startup focused on unlocking large-scale superconducting quantum computing, has closed a €594.2k (SEK 6.5 million) Seed round to support a technology that improves precision and quality in the production of quantum chips.
The funding was secured from Chalmers Ventures alongside Navigare Ventures and Almi Invest.
“We are seeing strong interest in this type of solution. As quantum chips grow, so does the need to adjust and optimise them without having to redesign the entire manufacturing process. With this funding, we can advance our technology and deepen our engagement with customers,” said Peter Hörstedt, CEO and co-founder of Arkeon.
Founded in 2025 by Peter Hörstedt, Andreas Nylander and Marcus Rommel, Arkeon develops a method for superconducting quantum chips where qubit frequencies are adjusted after fabrication, with the goal of improving precision, quality, and yield.
Small production variations can cause chips to underperform, affecting accuracy and yield. By fine-tuning each chip post-production, the company aims to create more stable and reproducible systems.
The company’s approach enables individual tuning of each chip after manufacturing, leading to improved performance and lower production costs. According to Arkeon, it drives controlled current pulse-trains through the junction barrier to adjust junction resistance, tighten frequency placement, and improve wafer-level yield, the company explained.
The startup initially targets the market for superconducting quantum processors, where both industrial companies and top research institutions are collaborating to scale increasingly complex systems. Arkeon reports that it currently has letters of intent from several potential customers and a pipeline of approximately 30 companies.
“Arkeon is addressing a clear challenge that the quantum industry faces in its next phase. What stands out is the combination of smart and advanced innovation, a defined use case, and early market interest. This is a solution with the potential to play an important role as quantum systems move toward industrial deployment,” said David Storek, Investment Director at Chalmers Ventures.
With this capital, the company plans to fund continued development, customer validation, and preparation for an international market. It also aims to further strengthen its portfolio within next-generation computing and companies addressing fundamental technical challenges in emerging industries.
