Off the Wire Press Releases Collaboration will support semiconductor companies, research institutes and universities developing quantum applications across different hardware environments TAIPEI, Taiwan, Sept. 4, 2026 — Scientek Corporation and Classiq have announced a go-to-market agreement to expand access to Classiq’s hardware-agnostic quantum software platform across Taiwan’s semiconductor, research and academic communities. Under the partnership agreement, Scientek will introduce Classiq’s platform to semiconductor companies, research institutes, universities, government organizations and other customers within its established network. The companies also plan to offer enablement and training and explore joint research and development programs involving quantum computing applications. Scientek distributes semiconductor equipment, scientific and analytical instruments and advanced technology systems to Taiwan’s industrial and research communities. Its experience supporting advanced technology infrastructure, including quantum hardware, positions the company to help customers connect their computing investments with the software required to design, optimize and execute quantum algorithms. Classiq’s platform allows researchers and technical teams to describe quantum algorithms as high-level functional models. The platform then automatically creates optimized quantum circuits for the selected hardware or execution environment. This hardware-agnostic approach allows organizations to develop software without committing their algorithms to a single quantum computing architecture. “Taiwan’s semiconductor companies and research institutions are increasingly evaluating how quantum computing could contribute to areas such as materials research, simulation and optimization,” said Mr. Simon Lin, CEO at Scientek Corporation. “Customers need more than access to hardware. They need software, training and development workflows that allow their teams to begin building applications. Classiq adds that capability while preserving flexibility across different hardware systems.” The collaboration is intended to help local organizations establish quantum development capabilities, train researchers and engineers, and evaluate potential applications within existing computing and research environments. “Taiwan is bringing together semiconductor leadership, artificial intelligence, high-performance computing and quantum research,” said Nir Minerbi, co-founder and CEO at Classiq. “Scientek has longstanding relationships across the semiconductor and scientific communities, making it a strong local partner for expanding access to quantum software. Our shared objective is to help organizations move from evaluating quantum technology to building and testing applications.” The companies expect initial activity to focus on semiconductor-related research, materials and chemical simulation, optimization and advanced computing. Classiq’s platform can support both quantum-only and hybrid quantum-classical development workflows, allowing users to evaluate algorithms across available hardware, simulators and cloud services. Taiwan’s semiconductor and research ecosystem offers a natural setting for quantum application development. Many of the scientific and engineering challenges being explored for quantum computing, including materials behavior, process optimization and complex simulation, are relevant to organizations operating across the semiconductor value chain. Scientek and Classiq will introduce the collaboration during SEMICON Taiwan 2026. Classiq will showcase its technology at the joint exhibition booth of Scientek and its group partner, Zen Voce, demonstrating how its platform supports quantum modeling, synthesis, optimization and execution across multiple computing environments. Scientek will support customer introductions and meetings with members of Taiwan’s semiconductor, academic and research communities. About Classiq Classiq, a leading quantum computing software company, provides enterprise-grade technology that makes it practical to develop scalable, efficient quantum applications. Used by dozens of global enterprises, the Classiq platform combines AI agents, a high-level quantum programming language and design automation to accelerate the development of optimized, hardware-ready quantum software.
