About Max and Aegiq
Aegiq is a UK quantum photonics start-up, spun out of the University of Sheffield in 2019. Building on over 20 years of world class research in semiconductors and quantum science, Aegiq has developed secure quantum communication solutions for fibre-optic and satellite based applications.
Backed by High-Tech Gründerfonds, Black Quant, and Quantum Exponential, they are now the leading company developing III-V semiconductor-based quantum photonics (manufacturing chips using elements such as gallium, indium, and arsenic rather than traditional silicon). This is accepted as a far stronger method in terms of reliability and security and has leveraged existing industrial processing techniques.
Aegiq is on a mission to unlock access to quantum data and address the growing need of global leaders to stay ahead of the curve with quantum tech. They are powering the adoption of quantum technologies using photonics as the most scalable technology to enable and develop the stack of quantum across multiple vertices.
Aegiq’s vision is to ensure that people around the world can trust their tech in any daily interactions to maintain that their data is safe. The only way to do this is with quantum technology.
