Gerald Mullally Discusses Quantum Market Momentum with Mergermarket

Gerald highlighted how recent public market activity, including Quantinuum’s IPO, is helping to build investor confidence in quantum computing and demonstrate potential pathways for private companies as they scale.

Following our oversubscribed £260 million Series C funding round, OQC has the capital runway to accelerate our technology roadmap, expand our international footprint and continue building the secure, scalable quantum infrastructure our customers need.
