- IQM partners with TOYO to supply onpremises quantum computers, including 5qubit Spark and 20–150qubit Radiance systems.
- The agreement supports Japan’s ambition to cultivate up to 10 million domestic quantum users by 2030.
What happened: IQM and TOYO join forces to boost quantum adoption
Finland’s IQM Quantum Computers has entered a distribution agreement with Japan’s TOYO Corporation, aiming to expand access to superconducting quantum computers across Japan. Under the deal, TOYO will market and supply IQM’s 5qubit Spark and scalable 20–150qubit Radiance systems to universities, research institutions and enterprises—marking a significant step in APAC quantum infrastructure development.
Coverage via Yahoo Finance adds that the partners aim to accelerate practical adoption by pairing on-premises hardware with local integration and support. IQM will deepen its presence in Japan while TOYO builds go-to-market capacity for education and enterprise customers.

Why it’s important
This partnership reflects an important shift in Japan’s quantum strategy, marrying commercial distribution channels with national ambitions to boost quantum literacy and usage. By deploying fullstack quantum systems, the agreement helps bridge the gap between research innovation and realworld applications.
Moreover, the collaboration underlines a broader trend in APAC’s quantum ecosystem, where collaborative public–private models are key to scalability. IQM’s expanding device footprint—including recent deployments across Europe and Asia—combined with TOYO’s domestic expertise, may accelerate adoption in fields ranging from materials science to financial modelling.
