Optics11 specializes in ultra-sensitive early warning systems across underwater security and energy. In underwater security, OptiArray is a compact, towed optical hydrophone array for submarines, surface vessels, and unmanned platforms, delivering anti-submarine capabilities with minimal drag and low power use. OptiBarrier provides Immediate, Over-the-Horizon Threat Detection, 24/7 through modular seabed acoustic fences around harbors, pipelines, and critical infrastructure. In energy, OptiFender enables 24/7 partial discharge monitoring of HV transformers and substations with centimeter-level fault localization. All are fully optical, immune to electromagnetic interference, and require no power at the sensor. Engineered in the Netherlands.

QuantWare is building the world’s most powerful quantum processors, and is today the highest-volume supplier of quantum processing units (QPUs) worldwide, serving customers in 20 countries. Its unique VIO QPU architecture allows the creation of the world's most powerful quantum processors. The company was founded in 2021 by Matt Rijlaarsdam and Alessandro Bruno as a spin-out from QuTech, and is committed to becoming a go-to for all women in quantum and other relevant fields. They're headquartered in Delft, at the heart of a globally leading hub for quantum technology, and are looking forward to connecting with people interested in shaping the future of computing!
