Basel / Geneva, 13.April 2026
Bringing Quantum Computing into Industry Applications
As a QAI Ventures portfolio company, QCentroid brings proven quantum platform capabilities directly into QAI Venture’s Global Industry Clusters across Finance, Life Sciences, Industrials, and Networks & Communication. Industry Cluster members will have access to three integrated offerings: 1. hands-on quantum Sandbox environments that let organisations explore real quantum use cases in their own industry context; 2. a structured Quantum Readiness & Roadmap Programme that takes leadership teams from initial discovery through to a validated, multi-year quantum strategy; 3. end-to-end Proof-of-Concept delivery that takes organisations from a defined use case all the way to a working implementation, production roadmap, and knowledge transfer managed and orchestrated by QAI Ventures with QCentroid providing the platform backbone.
Closing Gap Between Quantum Strategy and Implementation
The partnership is built on a straightforward conviction: quantum computing will only deliver value when industry has the capacity and capability to deploy it. This collaboration is about closing that gap at scale, across sectors, and with a clear path from strategy to implementation.
Leadership Perspectives
“Quantum computing will inevitably upend markets, but organizations shouldn't navigate this shift alone. QAI Ventures’ collaborative approach drastically shortens the quantum learning curve, and we are proud to serve as the technological backbone for these clusters. QCentroid platform enables true collaboration between commercial executives and quantum experts. Together, we're giving the tools for newcomers and advanced teams to actively influence their industries' future.”, Carlos Kuchkovsky, CEO & Co-Founder, QCentroid
“This partnership lays the foundation for delivering quantum solutions that work for industry leaders, tailored to their sectors and validated against real business challenges. It enables organizations to systematically identify and develop high-impact, sector-specific use cases. Working with QCentroid is a proud moment for QAI Ventures. It demonstrates that backing the right companies and building a strong ecosystem are not separate efforts, but two sides of the same strategy.”, Alexandra Beckstein, CEO & Co-Founder, QAI Ventures
