Calgary, Canada and Ottawa, Canada – TheNewswire - August 28, 2025 - SuperQ Quantum Computing Inc. (“SuperQ Quantum”, “SuperQ”, or the “Company”) (CSE: QBTQ; Frankfurt: 25X; OTC: ATMGF) a global leader in quantum and supercomputing, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a strategic partnership with ArcTech Accelerate, Ottawa’s leading consultancy for federal procurement acceleration and Industrial and Technological Benefits (ITB) strategy.

The collaboration will be spearheaded by Daniel Martimbeault, a senior advisor at ArcTech with over two decades of direct experience in Canada’s defence and aerospace procurement ecosystem. Daniel previously held leadership roles in the federal government covering Canadian ITB/offset policy, major platform acquisitions, and defence industrial strategies. His insights into how large-scale procurements translate into opportunities for Canadian SMEs make him uniquely positioned to guide SuperQ’s entry into this strategic market.

This partnership positions SuperQ to integrate its quantum and supercomputing capabilities and the Super™ platform into upcoming national defence and government procurement programs, leveraging ArcTech’s proven record of enabling Canadian innovators to win contracts and placements under Canada’s ITB and Innovation Solutions Canada (ISC) frameworks.

Since 2016, ArcTech has helped Canadian SMEs across aerospace, cybersecurity, clean technology, and advanced computing secure over $100 million in funding and new revenue opportunities. The firm’s track record includes supporting companies in achieving successful bids under ISC procurement programs and ITB-related industrial placements with global prime contractors, creating pathways into multi-billion-dollar government projects.

Muhammad Ali Khan, CEO and Board Chair of SuperQ, stated: “This agreement with ArcTech puts SuperQ in the strongest possible position to build traction in Canada’s most strategic markets. Defence, aerospace, and cybersecurity are increasingly recognizing quantum’s mission-critical role. With ArcTech’s expertise and networks, we gain the credibility and access required to accelerate engagement with prime contractors and federal agencies. This is a major step in turning SuperQ into a trusted quantum partner for national programs.”

ArcTech Accelerate, based in Ottawa, combines the expertise of former senior military officers, civil servants, engineers and policy specialists. Its work has enabled multiple Canadian companies to cross the trust barrier with Tier-1 primes, sparking collaborations that have led to long-term supplier roles and funded growth.

Tariq Abdellatief, Managing Director of ArcTech Accelerate, commented: “Quantum computing sits at the heart of Canada’s future security and innovation strategy. SuperQ is exactly the kind of deep-tech Canadian company the ITB framework was designed to amplify. By aligning SuperQ with obligors, primes and federal programs, we will ensure Canada’s investment in defence translates into both sovereign capability and global competitiveness.”

The partnership is expected to accelerate SuperQ’s path to defence-related contracts, recurring government revenue streams, and long-term integration into global supply chains, while reinforcing its role as a Canadian leader in frontier technologies.
