SDT Completes Pre-IPO Investment Worth 20 Billion KRW

Quantum standard technology specialist SDT announced on the 3rd that it has successfully completed a pre-IPO investment round worth 20 billion KRW. In August, SDT secured 10 billion KRW in investment from lead investor Shinhan Venture Investment, and recently raised an additional 10 billion KRW from DS Asset Management, IBK Investment & Securities, Spacetime Investment, Murim, and BYB Investment, closing a 20 billion KRW investment round. Prior to this pre-IPO investment, SDT had attracted 27 billion KRW in Series A and B funding from DS Asset Management, GS, KB Investment, AG Investment, and K2 Investment.

With the completion of this investment, preparations for the initial public offering (IPO), targeted for the second half of 2025, are expected to accelerate. SDT is a quantum computer manufacturing company that possesses commercialized quantum control equipment necessary for quantum computer production, compatibility and technical know-how across various physical platforms, abundant partnerships within the global quantum computing ecosystem, and extensive intellectual property (IP) covering the entire spectrum of quantum technology.

Leveraging this pre-IPO investment, SDT plans to accelerate the construction of Korea’s first commercialized quantum computing data center for quantum computer manufacturing and cloud services, as well as the adoption of quantum commercialization technologies in industries such as defense, AI, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals.

Yoon Ji-won, CEO of SDT, stated, “Through the successful attraction of this pre-IPO investment, we were able to reaffirm the market’s trust in SDT’s technological capabilities and future growth potential,” adding, “We are preparing for a greater leap as Korea’s first quantum technology listed company in 2025 and will devote even more effort to solidifying our leading position in the quantum computing field.”
