TAIPEI, Taiwan, September 2, 2026 -- Kensho and leading quantum computing software company Classiq today announced that they have entered into a market development partnership agreement to expand access to the Classiq quantum software platform in Taiwan. Kensho will leverage its existing customer network to introduce the platform to government agencies, research institutions and enterprises, while providing local support and training, and exploring joint R&D initiatives.

The initial focus of the partnership will be on chemical and materials companies, defense organizations, and organizations evaluating quantum computing to address simulation and optimization challenges. Kensho has extensive experience in the distribution of advanced semiconductor equipment and automation systems, providing a strong local foundation for introducing advanced quantum algorithm capabilities. Classiq’s hardware-independent platform automatically converts high-level functional models into optimized, hardware-executable quantum circuits, enabling organizations to flexibly deploy quantum applications across different quantum hardware and cloud environments.

Fu-Hsin Hsiao, Chairman of Kensho, said, “Taiwan is gradually gaining access to more quantum hardware, but hardware alone is not enough to build practical applications. Classiq provides the software layer needed to transform domain expertise into quantum programs, enabling us to offer customers a complete path from technology evaluation to application development.”

Nir Minerbi, co-founder and CEO of Classiq, said, “Taiwan has strong semiconductor expertise, advanced research capabilities, and a growing demand for new computing technologies. Kensho understands the local technology environment, and together we will provide trusted local support to help customers develop quantum software with cross-platform portability.”
