Indra leads €20M round in Qilimanjaro to push quantum for physical AI and robotics

Spanish defense-tech group Indra, alongside SETT, led a ~€20M first closing of a funding round for Catalan quantum computing startup Qilimanjaro, which plans to close the full round by year-end. The investment signals growing corporate interest in applying quantum computing to physical AI and robotics, though the technology remains nascent. This marks a notable strategic bet by a major defense contractor on quantum capabilities.
