EN - Le Village by CA Paris and ColibriTD Partner to Deploy Practical Quantum Applications in Business and Launch an Assessment to Evaluate Each Company's Early Adopter Potential

Paris, October 8, 2025 – Le Village by CA Paris, through its Corpolab, and ColibriTD, a French deeptech startup specializing in applied quantum computing, are joining forces to accelerate the adoption of quantum technologies in business. This alliance, unique in Europe, has one objective: to move from the laboratory to the real economy by transforming the still largely theoretical potential of quantum computing into practical, value-creating applications.

The Future Is Not Something to Wait For, It Is Something to Experiment With

Today, quantum computing is known for a few established use cases such as optimization, simulation, and classification. However, its true potential lies elsewhere: opening the door to unexplored applications such as designing new services, reinventing the security systems of tomorrow, modeling complex systems, and rethinking physical and information flows. What seems inaccessible today will become possible tomorrow thanks to quantum technologies. The mission of this partnership is to create the playground where these future possibilities can come to life by harnessing the computational power of quantum computing to address the strategic challenges faced by businesses. “Quantum computing has reached a turning point: we are no longer operating solely within the realm of fundamental research. We can now launch Proofs of Value under real-world conditions. What is still missing are companies willing to test, learn, and invent the use cases of tomorrow.” comments Dr. Laurent Guiraud, Co-founder of ColibriTD.

An Economic, Strategic, and Sovereignty Challenge

Quantum computing is both a competitiveness driver and a matter of technological sovereignty. “We are operating in a context of intense international competition. Waiting means risking that competitors will capture the value. Acting now means attracting scarce talent, securing a sustainable competitive advantage, and contributing to a major technological revolution in Europe.” explains Dr. Emmanuel Papadacci-Stephanopoli, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Le Village by CA Paris.

Le Village by CA Paris and ColibriTD Issue a Call to Visionaries

“This alliance can only succeed with a third pillar: pioneering companies. We are calling on bold business leaders, across all sectors, to co-invent the first strategic quantum use cases and tackle challenges that are currently considered unsolvable. The goal is to help companies gain a decisive advantage while their competitors are still hesitating.” he adds.
