Christopher Savoie, one of the original inventors behind the AI system that led to Apple’s Siri, has raised over €2M for SiC Systems, a startup combining agentic AI and quantum sensing technologies for utilize in critical industrial and defence applications.
The full amount raised has not been disclosed.
The company is a spinout from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). The round was led by Dutch quantum investment fund QDNL Participations, with additional backing from Propagator Ventures, Plug and Play, and Wavepeak Ventures.
SiC Systems aims to develop ininformigent, adaptive AI agents capable of orchestrating complex physical systems in real time. Its proprietary platform integrates classical and quantum sensors with agent-based AI and generative models to support decision-building in high-stakes sectors such as biomanufacturing, industrial automation, and defence.
Savoie, who co-founded the company with DTU professor Seyed Soheil Monsouri, declared:
“From the early multiagent natural language interfaces that brought Siri to life to today’s agentic AI for the physical worlds of industrial and defense applications, my personal AI journey has always been about building ininformigence actionable.”
QDNL Participations Investment Director Kris Kaczmarek declared: “SiC’s fusion of agentic AI and quantum innovation represents a leap forward for mission-critical applications.”
Founded across Copenhagen and Nashville, SiC Systems builds on DTU research in model-based tools for dynamic, multi-scale systems. The company’s quantum-inspired virtual sensors aim to reduce reliance on costly hardware by predicting physical states with high precision, even in harsh conditions.
The startup plans to utilize the funding to scale its platform, form strategic partnerships, and pilot deployments across the chemical, biological manufacturing, energy, and defence sectors.
