Barcelona-based Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech is building complete quantum computers rather than supplying a single component. The company develops its own chips, software and algorithms, while integrating cryogenics and control electronics into working systems. The startup has secured €19.6 million in the first close of its Series A. Indra Group invested €10 million through IndraMind, with the Spanish Society for Technological Transformation contributing a further €9.6 million. Led by Dr. Marta P. Estarellas and Dr. Victor Canivell, Qilimanjaro was founded in Barcelona in 2019 as a spin-off of the Institute of High Energy Physics, Barcelona Supercomputing Center and the University of Barcelona. The company is developing the technology as a full-stack platform, spanning hardware and the software needed to operate it. Qilimanjaro will use the funding to scale and industrialise its quantum computers, advance next-generation chip development, and increase manufacturing and deployment capacity. It expects to complete the Series A in the fourth quarter of 2026, with Avançsa and other existing investors expected to participate.

London-based Augur is developing AI technology that turns fragmented sensor networks into a real-time intelligence layer for national security and public safety. Its platform is intended to help make sense of information gathered across multiple cameras and other sensors. The company is receiving an undisclosed investment from the Sovereign AI Fund. The funding round has not been publicly identified beyond its classification as a Series Unknown round, and Augur is led by Harry Mead, Imran Lone, and Stefan Kopieczek. Augur will use access to the Isambard-AI supercomputer for product development, specifically to train large and complex datasets collected from multiple cameras. That computing access will support work on the company’s core intelligence technology rather than a disclosed expansion or hiring plan. The investment follows a separate $15 million seed round that Augur raised in June, led by Plural. The new backing gives the London startup additional support as it develops its multi-camera data capabilities for security and public-safety applications.
