Algorithmiq develops quantum software that makes quantum computers useful for science and industry. As quantum hardware continues to mature, the central challenge is no longer access to quantum systems themselves, but the algorithms and workflows that turn them into practical tools. Algorithmiq builds the algorithmic layer enabling the next generation of quantum applications across chemistry, materials science, and life sciences. Our multidisciplinary team combines world-class expertise in quantum information theory, quantum chemistry, computational life sciences, complex systems, and software engineering. We work closely with leading quantum hardware and infrastructure providers including IBM, Google, Microsoft, Rigetti, AWS, CERN, and Cleveland Clinic. Algorithmiq is the sole winner of the Wellcome Leap Q4Bio Challenge 2026, the Top Innovator of the UpLink Quantum for Society Challenge 2025 and a 2024 World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer. Headquartered in Milan, with offices in Helsinki, London and Dublin,  Algorithmiq operates globally with the mission of bringing quantum computing into practical industrial deployment

Since its inception, human life has kept evolving continuously, in a more and more unstoppable and global process. Anyways, behind every conquest there is and always will be a potential distorted use of what was thought to be created for the good. Today human life is way larger than what we can actually see. Our human digital and biological projection is infinitely broader than our physical existence: it begins even before we are born, and persists over time, even well beyond our biological life. Wallife is the first company in the world able to provide answers about safety and protection from still unknown risks. Our activity primarily consists in the identification of the new risks. Wallife studies and investigates the new boundaries of the risks, originated by the technological and scientific progress, linked to the existence of the human being itself, on both a biological and a digital level. Subsequently, we envision and design the ways people can be protected, through the use of currently available technologies or the development of new ones. Then, we analyze and assess the costs of receiving such protections. In the same way, we want to start researching and prototyping the future commercial development of insurance products for the protection from risks that already exist but are not guaranteed by the current products/offers.
