This funding round validates a hybrid approach where AI-driven classical optimization serves as an immediate bridge while parallel investment develops gate-based quantum algorithms for future scaling. By expanding its Qamomile open-source toolkit and broadening use cases in logistics and energy, JIJ is positioning itself at the intersection of near-term practical utility and long-term hardware evolution rather than relying on a single technology timeline.
Quantum JIJ Scales Optimization Tools with $5.2M Led by Global Brain

JIJ Inc. secured $5.2M led by Global Brain to expand its AI-enabled platform for mathematical optimization, including development of gate-based quantum computing technologies.
JIJ Inc. has secured JPY 840 million, approximately US$5.2 million, calculated using an exchange rate of JPY 161 per US$, in new equity financing led by Global Brain Corporation. The company reports it will use these funds to expand its AI-enabled optimization platform and develop technologies for both classical and gate-based quantum computing. JIJ has already developed over 60 use cases for optimization across sectors including energy, manufacturing, and logistics, demonstrating significant early traction; it is also building the open-source quantum programming language, Qamomile, alongside its commercial JijZept suite. JIJ Secures $5.2 Million Funding Led by Global Brain JIJ Inc. calculated its recent funding round at JPY 840 million, which is approximately US$5.2 million. This financial investment, led by Global Brain Corporation, indicates growing confidence in JIJ’s…
