Honda Xcelerator Ventures Invests in Quemix to Accelerate the Real-World Application of Quantum Technology

Honda Xcelerator Ventures is pleased to announce its investment in Quemix Inc., a company advancing quantum computing algorithms and software development.
Through this investment, HXV will further strengthen its collaboration with Quemix to accelerate the practical application of quantum technology, particularly in next-generation materials development.
Quemix has been working closely with Honda through joint research initiatives utilizing quantum computing technologies. Together, the companies have achieved significant milestones, including the development of a world-first technology for quantum state readout in 2025 and a new quantum algorithm in 2026 that significantly accelerates Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations, a foundational approach in computational materials science.
Building on this collaboration, Quemix aims to advance quantum technology beyond research and experimentation toward real-world implementation, helping accelerate the development of next-generation materials and other advanced developments.
“Honda will continue to take on the challenge of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 through a multifaceted approach. Through this investment, Honda aims to further strengthen its relationship with Quemix and expects Quemix’s technological innovation and business growth to accelerate. Going forward, Honda will continue to identify, collaborate with, and invest in innovative startups through its global open innovation program, Honda Xcelerator Ventures.”
Mahito Shikama, Director, Executive Officer, Honda Motor Co., Ltd.

At Honda Xcelerator Ventures, we continue to identify, collaborate with, and invest in innovative startups that are shaping the future through cutting-edge technologies.
We look forward to supporting Quemix’s journey as it works to unlock new possibilities with quantum technology.
