Quantum Foundry Copenhagen and Novo Nordisk Foundation Announce 5,300 m² Fabrication Facility for Quantum Chips
Quantum Foundry Copenhagen and the Novo Nordisk Foundation announced plans to build a 5,300 square metre quantum chip fabrication facility in Copenhagen, expected to be operational by 2027. The facility is intended to offer commercial wafer fabrication, characterization, assembly, and packaging services, linking academic research with industrial manufacturing.

If the Copenhagen facility opens as planned, European quantum hardware developers could iterate on chip designs faster by using integrated commercial fabrication, characterization, assembly, and packaging in one location instead of relying on scattered research cleanrooms.
The announced service range covers the full post-design production chain and is located in Europe, where several quantum hardware efforts need access to reliable fabrication. The main gates are construction staying on schedule and the facility qualifying its processes for specific qubit platforms.
