How ESA Helped us push Quantum Randomness Further
Introduction.
Almost 2 years ago we completed our incubation at ESA BIC Belgium. Being part of ESA BIC Belgium gave us a real push at the right time. The funding helped us move faster without having to compromise our roadmap. We stayed focused on what we do best: refining our QRNGs and making them more efficient, more compact, and more adaptable to real-world needs.
But the experience was more than financial. It also helped us structure our work better. Through ESA BIC, we also had the chance to connect with others working on advanced technologies, which gave us fresh perspectives and visibility beyond our usual circles.

Why iQrypto Exists
At iQrypto, we’re building quantum technologies that make sense in the real world.
The idea behind it all came from our founder, Alessandro Brunetti, a researcher in semiconductor physics and microelectronics. With a deep interest in quantum mechanics and its potential for data security, he saw a gap: We needed cryptographic systems that were not only stronger, but also scalable and accessible. Randomness is the foundation for secure encryption, and a key ingredient in protecting data against today’s and tomorrow’s threats.

Our Mission, Our Focus
Our goal is simple: to make quantum tech usable not just in labs, but in real, demanding environments. While our work isn’t limited to the space sector, some of its key constraints like minimal size, low power consumption, and high reliability match exactly what we aim to deliver.
That’s why our QRNGs are designed to be lightweight, efficient, and secure. Whether it’s for communication systems, embedded hardware, or other critical infrastructure, we believe security starts with truly random numbers and we’re building the tools to make that possible.
Our time with ESA BIC helped us grow in the right direction, and today, we’re continuing that work with the same mindset: Keeping things simple, solving real problems, and making quantum security a reality for more people and more systems.
