Anchored In team has published the summary of the UK Quantum Startup Survey today as part of the UK's national quantum showcase. We have been doing this every year since 2019.


Here is a summary of the findings:

The outlook for UK quantum start-ups in 2025 remains positive, despite facing some notable pressures, demonstrating resilience in the sector.

 

  • Investment has slowed from last year’s peak but remains broadly healthy.

  • New startups continue to form and raise seed rounds, but smaller deals have a less significant impact on the total.

  • Product development is advancing: more companies are in pre-product trials with customers or offering early-access services to showcase technologies.

  • Sector revenue exceeds £35 m, demonstrating commercial traction.

  • Government funding has dipped since mid-2024, adding pressure to some companies, but firms are adapting, including establishing overseas offices to access capital and markets.

  • The acquisition of the UK-founded company Oxford Ionics by the US firm IonQ underscores both the substantial value of UK quantum technology and the increasing global integration of the sector despite geopolitical tensions.
