Classiq and technology company TEA TEK Group have announced a strategic partnership to establish a quantum computing hub in Naples, Italy. The facility is configured to operate as a center for quantum computing research, software compilation, and commercial services within Italy and the European Union. By connecting a 128-qubit quantum hardware system with Classiq’s algorithm design platform, the hub will supply a unified workflow allowing academic researchers, public institutions, and industrial enterprises to build and execute quantum applications.

The infrastructure deployment replicates the technical framework utilized by the Quantum Computing Napoli (QCN) Lab at the University of Naples Federico II (UNINA), led by Professor Francesco Tafuri, scaling the operational capacity up to 128 qubits. Scheduled to launch services by the end of 2026, TEA TEK Group will manage the platform’s user allocation and computing resource blocks to act as a regional Quantum as a Service (QaaS) provider. The operational model includes a computational redistribution framework, where Classiq will allocate active compute hours back to industrial operators, establishing a localized supply chain linking hardware access with commercial applications.

The collaborative hub aligns with European infrastructure initiatives focused on building sovereign, secure technology stacks. Supported by regional capital investments from CDP Venture Capital and the European Innovation Council (EIC), the partnership aims to lower the barrier to entry for enterprise organizations by eliminating the upfront infrastructure costs required to host independent quantum machines. The facility will provide on-demand hardware access to companies across multiple sectors, including finance, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing, allowing users to compile and optimize functional quantum circuits without requiring low-level hardware expertise.

The strategic investment parameters, corporate profiles, and service access timelines can be reviewed in the official Classiq and TEA TEK Group Partnership Brief here.
