SuperQ Quantum selected for Canadian government deep tech trade mission to Barcelona

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - July 28, 2026) - SuperQ Quantum Computing Inc. (CSE: QBTQ) (OTCQB: QBTQF) (FSE: 25X) (" SuperQ Quantum ", " SuperQ ", or the " Company "), a leader in hybrid quantum-classical orchestration and advanced optimization, is pleased to announce it has been selected to participate in Deep Tech Canada 's Trade Mission to Barcelona , taking place November 2-5, 2026. This milestone represents a major recognition of SuperQ's commercial potential and marks a vetted strategic expansion into the rapidly growing European deep tech market. A Vetted Endorsement of Quantum Leadership The Deep Tech Trade Mission is a highly competitive initiative that supports Canadian companies developing advanced technologies for smart and sustainable cities, including AI, computing, mobility, energy, infrastructure, and urban systems.

Due to a high level of interest and limited capacity, the organizer prioritizes access based on company profiles, strategic fit and commercialization potential. SuperQ's selection, alongside being chosen to receive competitive travel support, serves as a strong endorsement of the Company's status as a leader in quantum and supercomputing. SuperQ will participate as an official exhibitor.

The Company will have its own display space in the Canadian pavilion and will receive full access to all trade mission sessions, networking events, and site visits. Participants will engage directly with global city leaders, corporates, investors, and research institutions, positioning themselves within Europe's rapidly evolving urban innovation ecosystem. Capitalizing on Spain's Quantum Momentum The mission includes entrance to the Smart City Expo World Congress and the co-located Barcelona Deep Tech Summit .

The Smart City Expo World Congress is the world's leading event for urban innovation, bringing together over 25,000 attendees, 850 cities, and 1,000 exhibitors globally. The co-located Deep Tech Summit bridges the gap between research and real-world deployment by connecting science-based startups directly with international investors and public sector buyers. Barcelona is rapidly emerging as a European powerhouse for quantum and deep tech ecosystems.

The region is anchored by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS), which houses the MareNostrum 5 supercomputer and coordinates the €22 million Quantum Spain initiative to develop a high-performance quantum computer infrastructure. Further bolstered by the €43 million Vall de la Quàntica (Quantum Valley) program, Barcelona provides an optimal, heavily funded environment for SuperQ to scale its commercial offerings. "Being selected for the Deep Tech Innovation Mission to Barcelona is a major validation of SuperQ's practical utility and global market readiness," stated Dr. Muhammad Ali Khan , CEO and Board Chair of SuperQ.

"Similar to our recent government-backed expansion into the US defense sector , entering the European market through a vetted, government-backed channel ensures we are engaging with serious public sector buyers and enterprise partners. Barcelona's leadership in quantum tech perfectly aligns with our mission to optimize critical infrastructure and energy systems using hybrid quantum-classical architecture." Driving Immediate ROI in Critical Infrastructure At the Canadian Pavilion, SuperQ intends to showcase the practical applications of its proprietary Super™ platform, Super OS™ and the in-development Super Nova™ modular hybrid quantum hardware, demonstrating how quantum and supercomputing can solve complex challenges in mobility, decentralized energy, and smart city planning. This European expansion reinforces SuperQ's commitment to reducing the technical and financial barriers to quantum and supercomputing commercialization worldwide.
