‘We are at a systematic disadvantage in Europe’: Pasqal CEO on listing in the US
The CEO of a prominent European quantum computing company is publicly stating investment and listing disadvantages in Europe compared to the US, highlighting ongoing concerns about European competitiveness in deep tech.
This statement underscores the persistent challenge Europe faces in retaining and attracting high-growth deep tech companies, potentially impacting its long-term industrial and technological sovereignty.
It reinforces the trend of European deep tech companies considering or actively pursuing US listings to access deeper capital pools and a more favorable investment environment.

More European deep tech companies will follow Pasqal's consideration to list in the US.
This talent and capital drain could further slow the development of a robust European deep tech ecosystem.
Europe may increasingly become a research and development hub for foundational technologies, with commercialization and scaling primarily happening abroad, eroding its economic and strategic autonomy.
