Case SemiQon: From quantum startup to scaleup

Introduction

SemiQon is a deep technology company developing silicon-based quantum processors and cryogenic CMOS chips for next-generation critical technologies. Since January 2023, Brighten has partnered with SemiQon as a long-term marketing partner, supporting the company’s entry to the market and transition from startup to scaleup. The collaboration is ongoing.

The challenge

Operating in a complex and fast-moving quantum technology market, SemiQon needed to establish credibility, clarify its positioning, and build continuous visibility among customers, partners and investors, while laying the foundation for long-term growth.

The approach

Brighten works in close collaboration with SemiQon’s team to define a clear growth vision and a long-term marketing roadmap. Brighten provides ongoing guidance alongside Fractional Marketing Management to ensure continuity, focus and alignment as SemiQon scales.

The work focuses on building thought leadership, activating a strong and differentiated brand, and increasingly supporting commercialisation by converting visibility and demand into customer engagement.

The work includes:

  • Comprehensive marketing strategy and roadmap
  • Ongoing advisory support and sparring
  • Thought leadership and insight-driven content
  • Strategy and brand activation across key channels
  • Always-on digital marketing and campaigns
  • Product marketing and demand generation
  • Fractional Marketing Management as part of SemiQon’s extended team

The outcome

  • A strong and distinctive brand position in the global quantum ecosystem
  • Recognition of SemiQon and its vision among both technical and business audiences
  • Consistent thought leadership supporting credibility and trust
  • A solid marketing and product marketing foundation supporting SemiQon’s growth phase
“It is a joy to work with the Brighten team. The skill, depth, speed and professionalism that they brought in defining the marketing roadmap of SemiQon makes us a big fan.” — Himadri Majumdar, CEO, SemiQon
