planqc Wins Made in Europe Award for Quantum Computing
A sourced note from the 5 October 2026 morning scan. The figure of record is the original report, not this page.
Munich's planqc won the Commercialising category at the Made in Europe Award 2026 in Berlin. It is building a 100-qubit neutral-atom system for DLR and a 1,000-qubit system for LRZ, both due online in 2027 (first LRZ hardware has arrived), and works with Airbus, ESA, BMW, and Fraunhofer on applications.
Why it matters
Pairs with Germany's €640M competition advance (planqc leads the LOGIQC consortium) and reinforces planqc as Germany's neutral-atom flagship.
