Our mission is to realize the promise of quantum computing by delivering scalability through powerful, resilient, and cost-effective silicon-based quantum processors. Our technology builds upon decades of development and know-how from the semiconductor industry, making it commercially competitive and well-suited for mass-manufacturing. SemiQon is a spin-off from VTT.

Codavel helps video platforms to achieve the optimal tradeoff between QoE and CDN costs, regardless of CDN failures or user’s bad network. Codavel ensures each video chunk for each user is delivered with the best available CDN option based on customer's business rules, maximum QoE or minimum costs, while guaranteeing customer's desired user experience. Traditionally, user experience is highly dependent on the user's WiFi, 3G or 4G connection quality and CDN availability. Metrics like user retention, conversion and even revenue are in the hand of CDNs and wireless networks. With Codavel, customers can get back in control. As a result, every end user gets a 5-star experience, regardless of CDN failures or user's bad network. We are working towards a world where internet-based services are frustration-free. For every user, anytime, anywhere.

We believe people should not care about privacy. Not because it doesnt matter, but because it shouldnt be an issue! From data breaches and surveillance of cloud applications, to blockchain smart contracts where everything is public, doing things privately online is becoming increasingly complicated. The only way to solve this is to make everything encrypted end-to-end, regardless of where the application is running. And the only way this can happen is if homomorphic encryption becomes mainstream. We are a remote-friendly company with headquarters in the centre of Paris.
