Karlsruhe, Germany, November 18 2025 -- Kipu Quantum, a leading provider of scalable and advanced quantum solutions, today announced a major expansion of its role within the IBM Quantum ecosystem, becoming one of the few organizations worldwide to operate across all three core elements of support for the quantum ecosystem: build, sell, and service.

Kipu Quantum’s continued evolution within the IBM ecosystem underscores the growing trust, momentum, and industry traction behind its technology and its expanding role in helping shape the global quantum computing landscape.

Partnering Across the IBM Quantum Ecosystem to Build, Sell and Service

• Kipu Quantum’s expanded role with IBM aligns with the three elements of support that define IBM’s collaborative ecosystem model:
• Build: As a Qiskit Function provider, Kipu’s Iskay Quantum Optimizer expands the toolset that IBM Quantum Premium Plan users have access to for delivering purpose-built algorithms and applications that expand the capabilities of IBM’s quantum systems.
• Sell: Kipu can now provide offerings that include access to IBM Quantum for enterprises across different industries seeking to initiate or further expand adoption of quantum computing.

Service: Leveraging IBM’s hardware and software stack, Kipu delivers end-to-end quantum services, from use-case engineering, and solution prototyping to workshops and applied learning programs that accelerate quantum adoption.

Through this comprehensive collaboration with IBM, Kipu can enable access as a single-entry point for learning, experimentation, and deployment, as well as a comprehensive environment where organizations can design, test, and scale quantum solutions that leverage IBM quantum computers, alongside Kipu’s application-focused innovations.

"By expanding their role and becoming strategic partner, Kipu is positioned to accelerate real-world adoption of quantum technologies. We fully support their vision of creating a simple way for users to develop quantum algorithms, and look forward to empowering their customers with direct, scalable access to IBM’s quantum computers," said Scott Crowder, Vice President, IBM Quantum Adoption and Business Development.

"Our next priority is to make our technology broadly accessible, so that enterprises can integrate it into their production workflows and capture tangible business value. By extending our collaboration with IBM we are creating a true one-stop-shop for clients to explore, access, and adopt quantum technologies. This expanded role will give customers the opportunity to access the best software and hardware solutions available," said Prof. Enrique Solano, CEO and Co-founder, Kipu Quantum.

Kipu Quantum continues to establish itself as a global leader in quantum algorithm development, addressing large-scale combinatorial optimization challenges and advancing quantum-enhanced machine learning.
