Switzerland-based venture capital firm QAI Ventures announced on Wednesday that it has teamed up with Enterprise Singapore to launch a new accelerator and venture builder focused on QuantumAI startups and advanced computing.
According to QAI Ventures, these programs use its global experience as an investor and its strong background in building QuantumAI ecosystems.
This launch builds on QAI Ventures’ earlier success in Europe and North America, where it has run several programs over the past three years. So far, the firm has helped more than 20 startups grow and now has a portfolio of 27 companies in total.
“Through our VC-funded Accelerator, Venture Building programs, and deep industry collaborations, QAI Ventures is building the Future of QuantumAI in Asia backed by Enterprise Singapore,
“Our model fosters entrepreneurial dynamism, drives economic growth, and empowers innovators to translate QuantumAI breakthroughs into real-world impact,” said Alexandra Beckstein, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of QAI Ventures.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is now moving toward quantum technology, creating a powerful new field called QuantumAI. This combination is expected to shape the future of computing. QAI Ventures’ new Singapore accelerator aims to focus on this fast-growing opportunity and become a key hub for QuantumAI startups in Asia.
Quantum technology could unlock up to $250 billion in value across industries such as pharmaceuticals, finance, logistics, and materials science, according to Bain & Company.
Google also reports that quantum computers can be up to 13,000 times faster than the most advanced supercomputers — showing just how transformative this technology can be.
The QAI Ventures Accelerator is a five-month program that helps early-stage founders turn scientific discoveries into successful businesses.
Participants get mentorship from global experts — including quantum technologists, venture capitalists, and business leaders — and join masterclasses covering topics like intellectual property, product-market fit, fundraising, and corporate governance.
Applications for the first cohort are open from October 29, 2025, to March 2, 2026.
The program starts in mid-2026 and is open to incorporated startups with at least two founders who pass a due diligence check.
The program will end with a Demo Day, where startups pitch to international investors and partners to raise funds and expand their businesses.
In 2026, QAI Ventures will also launch a Venture Building Program to turn Singapore’s strong research and patents into real companies.
It will use its database of over 2,000 patents to create and spin off new ventures, helping boost innovation and job creation.
This program targets both scientists with unique IP and experienced entrepreneurs interested in Deep Tech and Quantum fields.
QAI Ventures plans to establish seven new ventures in Singapore by 2027 — three in the first year and four in the second.
“Our partnership with QAI Ventures to venture-build and accelerate growth of quantum startups provides that critical pathway, strengthening Singapore’s position as both a launchpad for homegrown quantum ventures and a regional gateway for global startups scaling across Asia,” said Sophia Ng, Executive Director, Startup Ecosystem, EnterpriseSG.
