Tampere-based firm Quanscient, which develops a cloud-native multiphysics simulation platform for AI-driven engineering, has secured €10 million in a Series A round led by 55 North and B&C-Gruppe, with backing from Maki.vc, Crowberry Capital, QAI Ventures, and First Fellow Partners.
- Founded in 2021 by Dr. Alexandre Halbach, Dr. Valtteri Lahtinen, Asser Lähdemäki, and Juha Riippi, the company builds a simulation system that replaces traditional desktop tools with code-based workflows, allowing engineers to run complex physics models on cloud infrastructure.
- The platform can execute thousands of simulations in parallel and claims runtimes up to 100x faster than conventional solvers, while enabling fully Python-native automation and AI-agent integration.
- It is used to generate large-scale physics datasets, train surrogate AI models, and explore design spaces with prediction times in the millisecond range. Applications include aerospace, automotive, medical devices, and energy, where multiphysics modelling is essential.
- Alongside this, Quanscient operates a quantum research unit focused on new computational physics algorithms and collaborations with external partners.
Details of the deal
- The funding will support international expansion and further development of its platform, with emphasis on improving simulation performance, scalability, and AI integration for engineering use cases.
