FirstQFM’s Quantum Link With Nordic Deep-tech At NORDEEP 2026

FirstQFM, a Stockholm-based startup founded in 2025, develops artificial intelligence foundation models aimed at improving the performance and scalability of near-term quantum computers. The company focuses particularly on quantum error correction, a critical challenge in advancing quantum computing technology.

Representatives from FirstQFM attended the NORDEEP 2026 event to engage with potential financial backers and build connections across the broader deep-tech landscape. The conference featured prominent venture capital leaders and dedicated panel discussions covering global deep tech funding and future computing trends like quantum error correction.

These networking efforts build on FirstQFM's financial foundation, which includes a 1.2 million euro pre-seed funding round led by Luminar Ventures in October 2025. This positioning allows the company to capitalize on the strong investment interest and competitive funding landscape present at the NORDEEP event.
