Investing in a quantum future: UK university technologies are aiming to lead the way
Our recent paper looks into the institutional investment opportunity in quantum computing and how UK university spin-outs are furthering innovation in this sector.
Quantum computing redefines the limits of what computers can achieve with the ability to solve complex problems that are typically beyond the ability of traditional computers. We believe it has the potential to make a significant impact across industries such as energy, pharma and security.
The UK is producing some of the leading companies in the sector, originating from cutting-edge research. Notable spinouts from top universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial and UCL are now scaling off the back of meaningful funding rounds.
We believe there is a positive investment thesis for institutional investors who can combine diversified exposure across multiple competing quantum computing hardware approaches with nearer-term market opportunities in platform technologies.
