Novo Nordisk Foundation funds Copenhagen quantum facility
The Novo Nordisk Foundation is backing Quantum Foundry Copenhagen to establish a 5,300 square metre quantum chip fabrication facility in Copenhagen. The new site is intended to develop advanced manufacturing equipment and strengthen Europe's quantum chip design and manufacturing capacity.

The facility's equipment-development programme could begin validating specialized quantum chip manufacturing tools for European research fabs within two years, before the Copenhagen site reaches full production.
The project is explicitly chartered to develop advanced manufacturing equipment, and tool qualification can proceed in a partially commissioned cleanroom. If foundation funding covers early procurement, prototype tools could reach existing European labs while the larger fabrication line is still being built out.
