Classiq Quantum Software Gains Scientek and Kensho in Taiwan

Deal split: Scientek will take Classiq to market in Taiwan; Kensho will handle market development, introductions, and local support.Portable circuits: Users describe algorithms as high-level models and receive optimized hardware-ready circuits.Show debut: Both collaborations are being introduced at SEMICON Taiwan 2026 in Taipei.Classiq announced a go-to-market agreement with Scientek Corporation and a separate market development partnership with Taiwan distributor Shyan Sheng HiTech Co., Ltd., which trades as Kensho, on September 2, 2026 to expand access to Classiq quantum software. Scientek will introduce the platform to semiconductor firms, research institutes, universities and government organizations. Kensho will introduce it to government agencies, research institutions and enterprises, with an initial focus on chemical, materials and defense buyers. Both agreements include local support and training, and the parties will explore joint research.The Classiq platform lets teams describe algorithms as high-level functional models. Synthesis then builds optimized circuits for a chosen processor, simulator or cloud target, so code stays portable as hardware changes. Taiwan is bringing together semiconductor leadership, artificial intelligence, high-performance computing and quantum research. Scientek has longstanding relationships across the semiconductor and scientific communities, making it a strong local partner for expanding access to quantum software. In the Scientek announcement, Nir Minerbi, co-founder and CEO at Classiq, said, “Taiwan is bringing together semiconductor leadership, artificial intelligence, high-performance computing and quantum research.Scientek has longstanding relationships across the semiconductor and scientific communities, making it a strong local partner for expanding access to quantum software.”Scientek and Kensho are introducing the platform through existing industrial accounts and are staffing meetings at SEMICON Taiwan 2026, running September 2 to September 4, 2026 at TaiNEX 1 and 2 (Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center).PartnerAgreementPrimary audiencesSEMICON Taiwan 2026Scientek (Zen Voce company), founded 1979Go-to-marketSemiconductor firms, research institutes, universities, governmentTaiNEX 2, 1st floor, booth P5900 with Zen VoceShyan Sheng HiTech Co., Ltd.

Customers need more than access to hardware,” said Simon Lin, CEO at Scientek.“Taiwan is gradually gaining access to more quantum hardware, but hardware alone is not enough to build practical applications. Classiq provides the software layer needed to transform domain expertise into quantum programs, enabling us to offer customers a complete path from technology evaluation to application development,” stated Fu-Hsin Hsiao, chairman of Kensho. In the Kensho announcement, Minerbi said Taiwan has strong semiconductor expertise, advanced research capabilities and growing demand for new computing technologies, and pledged local support for cross-platform quantum software development.Classiq now has a Taiwan go-to-market channel and a separate market-development partner for software access.Find out more here.—Further articles, reports, and the latest quantum computing news may be found at The Qubit Report.Fidelity Digital Assets published a September 1, 2026 research note on Bitcoin quantum resistance, written by Daniel Gray.
