SpeQtral is a Singapore-based startup developing quantum-secure communication systems.
Technology
The startup uses Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technologies to create a secure communication network. They have both terrestrial-based and space-based solutions, and can integrate both into a comprehensive system.
Intellectual Property
SpeQtral has licensed technologies and know-how for developing compact quantum light sources from the National University of Singapore's Centre for Quantum Technologies[1].
Traction
In 2024, SpeQtral signed an MOU with the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), DBS, HSBC, OCBC, UOB, and SPTel to study the application of QKD in financial services in Singapore[2].
They also have partnerships with SES Satellite[3], a Luxembourgish communications satellite operator, and Toshiba[4].
The startup has integrated their technologies into the UK Research and Innovation's Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Space’s quantum comms satellite[5].
Accolades
List awards received by the startup here.
Funding
In 2021, the startup closed a US$8.3 million Seed round led by Xora Innovation[6].
Speqtral raised a seed round of US$1.9 million in 2019, led by Space Capital[1].
