BTQ Technologies Corp. and its strategic partner SDT Inc. have commercially launched QuREKA, a hybrid quantum cloud platform powered by QPerfect's MIMIQ emulator, at Quantum Korea 2026. The platform, unveiled at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza in Seoul from July 2 to 4, integrates CPU, GPU, and QPU resources to allow users to build and test quantum algorithms. This launch marks the transition of MIMIQ from an early-access integration to a fully commercialized service, providing Korean research institutions and enterprises with direct cloud-based access to QPerfect's technology. The deployment aligns with BTQ's strategy to pair quantum software with regional partners and follows its participation in the Korea-Canada Roundtable to strengthen bilateral quantum cooperation.
Acquisition and Integration
QPerfect SAS, the French developer of MIMIQ, is expected to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of BTQ following the completion of a previously announced acquisition. BTQ received regulatory approval from French Foreign Direct Investment authorities for this transaction. The total purchase price comprises a closing consideration of €18,592,242.83 and a potential earnout payment of up to €5,672,680.72. The closing consideration was paid through €2,024,000.13 in cash and the issuance of 2,195,929 common shares. The earnout is contingent on milestone achievements and consists of €440,604.07 in cash and 693,450 common shares. All shares were issued at approximately €7.54 per share.

In connection with the acquisition, BTQ issued 198,808 restricted share units to Philippe Blot, the CEO of QPerfect, who will continue in his role. The acquisition strengthens BTQ's portfolio in quantum software, emulation, and digital twin capabilities.
Strategic Expansion and Technology
MIMIQ allows users to design and validate circuits at scales of up to thousands of qubits, exceeding the limits of current physical hardware. SDT operates and commercializes the QuREKA platform, while QPerfect provides the MIMIQ back end. Alongside the cloud platform, SDT showcased its full-stack quantum portfolio at Quantum Korea 2026, including a new 4 K cryogenic system and a pulse-tube cryocooler. The event featured industry partners such as IonQ, NVIDIA, and QuantWare, highlighting the growing collaboration between global quantum ecosystems.
How might BTQ's full integration of QPerfect as a wholly-owned subsidiary affect its competitive positioning against other quantum software companies in the Asia-Pacific market?
What specific milestone achievements must QPerfect meet to trigger the earnout payment, and what timeline is BTQ targeting for those milestones?
Could the Korea-Canada quantum cooperation framework facilitated by BTQ and SDT lead to similar regional partnerships in other markets such as Japan, Singapore, or the EU?
