QTREX, the name Israel-based Inspira Technologies says it plans to adopt, has entered the quantum computing sector with a pitch aimed at one of the industry’s least visible but most stubborn engineering problems: how to connect growing numbers of qubits inside dilution refrigerators without overwhelming the system with bulky wiring, heat leakage and electromagnetic interference. The company said on April 6 it would direct a newly acquired additive manufactured electronics platform towards cryogenic interconnects and high-density 3D structures designed for quantum hardware.
The move reflects a broader reality in quantum computing. Much of the public attention still centres on qubit counts and algorithmic milestones, but hardware groups across the sector are increasingly focused on scaling constraints inside the refrigerator itself. As systems grow, the control and readout stack must also expand, and that brings pressure on interconnect density, cooling budgets and signal fidelity. Research published over the past two years has underlined the point, showing that limited cooling power and the sheer volume of cables and components remain major barriers on the road to fault-tolerant machines.
Inspira said its AME platform is intended to address those constraints through 3D design, specialised materials and precision additive manufacturing. According to the company, the technology has already shown proof of concept in qubit-related device integration, and management believes that gives it a base from which to adapt the platform for cryogenic connectivity. The company also said more than $200 million had been invested in the technology over several years before the platform was acquired from Nano Dimension on April 6. That acquisition included intellectual property, customer-related assets and commercial operations.
The chronology matters because QTREX is not emerging as a conventional startup built from scratch around a new lab breakthrough. It is instead taking shape through a strategic pivot by a Nasdaq-listed medical technology company. Inspira said it will seek shareholder approval to change its name to QTREX Ltd while continuing to run its respiratory support and blood-monitoring businesses through a dedicated subsidiary. That gives the venture a listed-company structure and an inherited manufacturing platform, but it also means investors and prospective partners will judge it not only on technical promise but on whether it can execute a sharp turn into a demanding and highly specialised market.
The market opportunity is large enough to attract that gamble. McKinsey said in its 2025 Quantum Technology Monitor that quantum computing revenue could rise from about $4 billion in 2024 to as much as $72 billion by 2035. Boston Consulting Group has projected that quantum computing could generate $450 billion to $850 billion in economic value globally by 2040, supporting a hardware and software provider market of $90 billion to $170 billion. Those forecasts help explain why suppliers are moving beyond qubits themselves into the surrounding infrastructure, where bottlenecks can decide whether laboratory systems become industrial platforms.
QTREX is entering a field where others are already trying to break the wiring problem in different ways. Quantinuum has highlighted hardware advances aimed at solving what it calls the “wiring problem” and “sorting problem”. SEEQC has been pushing integrated digital control at millikelvin temperatures to reduce the linear growth of control lines. Academic and industrial research has also explored cryo-CMOS multiplexers, on-chip microwave generation, optical readout and MEMS-based switching as routes to lower heat load and shrink the physical footprint of the control stack.
That competitive backdrop cuts both ways for QTREX. On one hand, it validates the problem the company says it is targeting. On the other, it shows that no single solution has yet won out, and that the field remains technically fragmented. Some approaches move more electronics into the cold environment, others rely on multiplexing, photonics or advanced packaging. QTREX’s wager is that additive manufacturing and 3D interconnect architecture can carve out a valuable place in that stack by improving density and reducing parasitic effects without forcing quantum hardware developers to redesign their entire systems.
The company’s leadership is also part of the story. Inspira said the push is being led by chief executive Dagi Ben-Noon and chief operating officer Avi Shabtay, whom it described as original developers of the AME technology, with Ben-Noon also identified as a founder of Nano Dimension. Inspira added that several members of its research, operations and finance teams previously worked at Nano Dimension, and that it intends to retain key members of the AME team. That continuity may help on the engineering side, though it does not remove the commercial risks of entering a quantum market where development cycles are long, standards are still evolving and customer qualification can take time.
