EeroQ wins MSU's Startup of the Year Award
We are absolutely thrilled to share that EeroQ has been awarded the
2025 MSU Startup of the Year, an honor that feels especially meaningful given our deep partnership with Michigan State University.
This award is a testament to both where we come from and where we are headed. Our approach to quantum computing, leveraging electrons on superfluid helium in CMOS-compatible architectures, traces directly back to foundational research at MSU.
“Winning Startup of the Year is a special honor for EeroQ that recognizes a long journey that started at MSU,” said Nick Farina, CEO. An MSU professor helped develop the original theory, and today Professor Pollanen, CSO, and the EeroQ team are advancing the engineering and physics to make it a reality.
Our sincere thanks go to MSU, Red Cedar Ventures, and the MSU Research Foundation for their partnership. The next few years are expected to be transformative as we move toward commercialization.
This is a symbolic honor, as this award underscores that EeroQ is making real technical strides with impact. Since our founding in 2017, we have transitioned from theory to engineering and prototype demonstration. By choosing EeroQ, MSU signals its confidence in our technical foundation, our team, and our commercial vision.
