SiC Systems, Inc. has started with a financing round led by QDNL Participations, with participation from Propagator Ventures, Plug and Play and Wavepeak Ventures. The startup is a spin-out from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU).
SiC Systems was founded by Christopher J. Savoie – whose groundbreaking work with AI agents has led to the assistants we know today in mobile devices, smart speakers and beyond – and Seyed Soheil Monsouri, Professor of Process Systems Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), a pioneer in applying model-based tools to complex multi-scale dynamic systems, including quantum computing for (bio- and chemical) production applications.
The company is a leader in integrating autonomous AI agents with physical systems. The proprietary multi-agent platform leverages the power of advanced process modeling, agentic AI and generative AI models, enhanced by quantum computing, to enable seamless, adaptive and secure decision making in dynamic environments.
These technologies work together with classical and quantum sensors, making it possible to tackle complex challenges in sectors where it is crucial to make informed decisions based on in-depth knowledge and accurate modeling of the underlying physics.
Initial focuses for the startup include biomanufacturing, industrial automation and defense activities.
Christopher Savoie, Founder and CEO of SiC Systems, said:
“From the early multi-agent natural language interfaces that brought Siri to life to today’s agentic AI for the physical world of industrial and defense applications, my personal AI journey has always been about making intelligence actionable.
“This funding validates our vision and allows us to scale quantum-enhanced virtual sensors that provide unparalleled accuracy and efficiency in real-time monitoring. We are excited to partner with QDNL Participations, Propagator, Plug and Play and Wavepeak investors who share our commitment to pushing the boundaries of AI and quantum technology for real-world impact world.”
This funding round underlines growing investor confidence in hybrid AI-quantum technology amid rising demand for resilient, autonomous systems.
The funding will support further development of SiC Systems, including:
-
Advanced quantum-inspired virtual sensors: These technologies simulate and predict physical states with quantum-level precision, reducing dependency on expensive hardware and enabling robust performance under harsh environments
-
Enhancing agentic AI frameworks: SiC’s multi-agent control and sensor orchestration systems autonomously orchestrate industrial processes and military operations, optimizing security, speed and scalability
-
Strategic Partnerships and Pilots: Accelerated deployment with global leaders in chemical and biological manufacturing, energy and defense to demonstrate the technology’s impact in high-stakes environments
Kris Kaczmarek, Investment Director at QDNL Participations said:
“SiC’s fusion of agentic AI and quantum innovation represents a leap forward for mission-critical applications. As a committed quantum investor, we are excited to back a team led by Savoie, whose track record in fundamental AI and quantum technologies is unparalleled.”
Anders Froseth, founder of Propagator Ventures, said:
“SiC Systems is tackling a problem of real industrial importance; combining agentic AI, detailed process modeling and quantum-enhanced sensing to orchestrate complex physical systems in real time. The team works at the intersection of simulation, sensor fusion and autonomous decision-making. We are pleased to see this strong link with another Nordic country and see SiC’s work as a excellent example of how deep technical insight can translate into transformative industrial technology”.
Saeed Amidi, Founder and CEO of Plug and Play said:
“Going back to the early days of PayPal, Dropbox and N26, Plug and Play has consistently supported founding teams that have revolutionized our economy in fundamental ways through technology. Christopher and Soheil are one such team and what they are building at SiC will usher in a new era of AI agent-assisted self-driving manufacturing.”
Marianne Thellersen, SVP Innovation & Entrepreneurship at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) said:
“SiC’s technology is a testament to the extensive resources we put into research and innovation, and we are excited to see such a high-caliber team building the foundation laid at DTU.”
