SEA Quantum recently hosted a high-level delegation from France, signaling increased collaboration in quantum technology between the two nations. Jean-François Ambrosio, Country Director Malaysia and Trade & Investment Commissioner, accompanied Alain Champenois of Quobly, a deep-tech quantum computing company building silicon spin qubit processors, to the Southeast Asian hub. The visit followed SEA Quantum’s participation in Quantum Korea 2026, demonstrating a strategy to build regional partnerships before seeking international investment. SEA Quantum stated this visit “is proof that SEA Quantum is at the heart of Southeast Asia’s emergence as a player on the global quantum stage,” positioning the company as a key link between French quantum expertise and a growing regional ecosystem.
Quobly is developing silicon spin qubit processors, focusing on hardware development as a potential area for partnership. The delegation’s focus extended beyond technological exchange; Ambrosio’s role as Trade & Investment Commissioner underscored the economic dimensions of this collaboration, suggesting potential investment opportunities alongside scientific partnerships. Discussions centered on future quantum applications and joint projects, aiming to establish SEA Quantum as a link between French quantum expertise and the expanding Southeast Asian quantum ecosystem. This alignment positions SEA Quantum as an active architect of a growing regional quantum network, rather than simply a recipient of foreign interest.
Joining us was Jean-François Ambrosio , Country Director Malaysia and Trade & Investment Commissioner, whose leadership continues to drive stronger economic and technological ties between France and Malaysia.
The delegation’s visit to SEA Quantum’s facilities immediately followed the company’s presence at Quantum Korea 2026 on July 6, indicating a deliberate strategy of regional engagement designed to attract international partnerships. Quobly, described as “one of France’s most exciting deep-tech quantum computing companies,” is concentrating its development efforts on silicon spin qubit processors, an area of expertise now being explored in Southeast Asia.
