Calgary, Canada – August 25, 2025 - SuperQ Quantum Computing Inc. (“SuperQ Quantum”, “SuperQ”, or the “Company”) , A global leader in quantum and supercomputing, is pleased to announce that it has been accepted as a member of FABrIC – the government‑backed, CMC Microsystems‑led national initiative to accelerate Canada’s semiconductor ecosystem. FABrIC is a five‑year, $223M program (Strategic Innovation Fund) that pools funding, infrastructure, industry partners and training programs to strengthen Canadian capabilities in photonics, MEMS, compound semiconductors and quantum technologies.

Being part of FABrIC gives SuperQ direct access to the FABrIC member network, challenge funding programs, IP and prototyping services, training, Quantum Readiness programming, as well as opportunities to collaborate with Canada’s leading semiconductor and quantum projects and researchers. These are resources designed to accelerate development and commercialization of Canadian technology. SuperQ’s inclusion comes ahead of the Round Two Challenge funding announcement. Round One Challenge recipients included several quantum and quantum-adjacent initiatives.

Why This Matters for SuperQ and for Canada

Strategic ecosystem access: FABrIC membership connects SuperQ to a national network of industry partners, academic labs and government stakeholders focused on bringing semiconductor‑based and quantum innovations to market.

Funding project opportunities: Membership enables eligibility to participate in FABrIC Challenge Calls, project consortia, and co‑development opportunities that de‑risk commercialization pathways. FABrIC’s first round attracted 138 expressions of interest and funded 20 projects across Canada, including several quantum‑focused initiatives.

Technical prototyping services: Through FABrIC and CMC Microsystems’ shared services (design, prototyping, microFAB access and testing), SuperQ can accelerate product development cycles for hardware‑adjacent and integration projects that complement Super™ platform.

Talent training: FABrIC’s training and re‑skilling programs (TNT) and university links increase access to highly qualified personnel and strengthen commercial RD pipelines across Canada.

Quantum readiness commercialization: FABrIC’s explicit focus on quantum technology and the Quantum Readiness stream means SuperQ can both contribute to and benefit from national efforts to scale quantum sensing, control and compute technologies.

Next Steps

SuperQ will immediately begin engaging with FABrIC working groups and will assess specific Challenge Calls and collaborative projects where Super™ hybrid quantum‑classical platform and our research partnerships with Canadian universities and industry partners can add near‑term commercial value. SuperQ expects to provide further project and partnership updates as specific opportunities are identified and advanced.

“Joining FABrIC is a major strategic milestone for SuperQ. It plugs our Super™ platform and Canadian R&D partnerships into the country’s coordinated plan to build semiconductor and quantum capacity,” said Dr. Muhammad Khan, CEO and Board Chair, SuperQ Quantum. “FABrIC brings funding pathways, prototyping infrastructure, and a national partner network that will help us accelerate Canadian commercialization of quantum‑enabled solutions and expand industry access to high‑performance quantum and hybrid compute capabilities.”
