As 2025 comes to a close, it’s a good opportunity to reflect on the year. For Mosaiq, it’s been about building on previous progress, helping authorities make smarter decisions, and continuing to shape public transit through meaningful insights. Over the year, the platform processed hundreds of millions of scheduled trips and tens of billions of heartbeat records – a scale of data that underpins smarter decisions for transit authorities and operators worldwide.

The Kingdom of Morocco has chosen Kuba to deploy a unified ticketing system across several major cities in the country, in partnership with the Ministry of the Interior. This strategic project marks a key milestone in the modernisation of Moroccan mobility networks ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON 2025) and the 2030 FIFA World Cup.  The first deployment phase has been completed in just under three months to be fully operational for AFCON 2025. Its objective is t

As we reach the close of 2025, this edition of the ICM Monthly Outlook reflects on a year defined by strong equity market returns, accelerating AI adoption and periodic bouts of volatility that tested investor conviction. From record highs in U.S. equities and a powerful AI-driven rally, to currency shifts, softer oil prices and changing central bank priorities, the past twelve months have reinforced familiar investment lessons while introducing new dynamics that will shape t

We are pleased to see ICM HPQC Fund's portfolio companies Diraq and Q-Ctrl recognised in this latest announcement by the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology  (IYQ), a United Nations-declared year, launching the Quantum 100:  “Dedicated, Inspiring, and Supportive”; UNESCO 2025 International Year of Quantum Science and Technology Announces Quantum 100 to Celebrate Global Community - IYQ 2025 Congratulations to Professor Andrew Dzurak of Diraq and Michael Biercu

Vix Technology announced a new phase of its ongoing partnership with Great Western Railway (GWR), which enables the expansion of P ay-as-you-Go ITSO smart card payments across the whole of Cornwall and into Plymouth.  More than a hundred of Vix’s new-generation platform validators are now live across stations between Penzance and Plymouth. They connect to Vix’s secure, cloud-based system for configuration, monitoring, and analytics, while also interfacing with the network’s t

Greater Wellington will introduce contactless open-loop payments across buses and rail from April 2026 without waiting for national change. Working with Snapper Services and Littlepay, the region will enable passengers to pay using contactless bank cards and digital wallets alongside existing Snapper cards. The approach is deliberately incremental. Instead of waiting for a delayed national programme, Greater Wellington Regional Council is enabling passengers to use contactles

InnovationAus.com 's recognition of Q-CTRL highlights its strong progress across quantum software and control engineering, as well as the milestone launch of its quantum-assured inertial navigation system, Ironstone Opal, earlier this year. Read the full article here .

The latest market insight from ICM reports that October brought another month of gains for U.S. equities, supported by solid earnings and a widely anticipated rate cut from the Federal Reserve. The tone shifted in early November, with markets giving back some ground as investors reassessed valuations and the policy path. Some recent risks have eased, including a pause in U.S.-China trade tensions and the resolution of the federal shutdown. Others persist. Inflation remains ab

Q-CTRL, the global leader in quantum infrastructure software, QuantWare, the world’s highest-volume supplier of commercial quantum processing units, and Qblox, the global leader in quantum computing control stacks, announced the launch of the Quantum Utility Block (QUB), a family of full-stack, pre-validated quantum computer reference implementations built on a modularised architecture. The QUB model is designed to give quantum system purchasers and adopters an accessible, co

The Q-CTRL and RIKEN teams pictured with IBM Quantum System Two in Kobe, Japan Q‑CTRL and RIKEN, a national research institute in Japan, announced the integration of Q-CTRL’s performance management software Fire Opal with RIKEN’s IBM Quantum System Two. The system is deployed within the RIKEN Center for Computational Science, Japan's Premier High-Performance Computing center, and co-located with Japan's flagship supercomputer Fugaku.

Is there an AI bubble, and does it matter? Our team at ICM HPQC Fund (HPQC) is often asked whether today’s valuations in AI are sustainable. Answer: when you invest in the underlying compute infrastructure, the bubbles matter far less. The demand for memory, bandwidth, switching, fabrication and cooling continues to rise faster than supply. That gap is physics driven, not sentiment driven - and it is where HPQC sees long-term opportunity, regardless of which AI software platf

ICM HPQC Fund (“ICM HPQC”) continues to see excitement in the next-generation computing space.

West Sussex County Council has leveraged Snapper’s MOSAiQ Insights platform to quantify the impact of traffic-signal changes across 20 strategic junctions. By analysing stop-level bus data in real time, the council demonstrated measurable journey-time improvements that supported additional Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) funding. Discover how data-driven infrastructure is driving smarter public transport in this case study. Read the full article here .

Diraq has entered the next phase of the DARPA “Quantum Benchmarking Initiative”, positioning itself at the frontline of the race to build a commercially viable, utility-scale quantum computer. The initiative is structured to rigorously evaluate whether quantum computing architectures are capable of delivering value that exceeds their build and operational costs by 2033. Diraq’s involvement leverages its silicon-spin-qubit technology and manufacturing compatibility with existi

At Vix Technology, their new “Designing for Everyone”  article examines how Vix Smart Gates  have been engineered from the ground up to support ticketing flexibility, inclusive lane widths, and a user interface that meets WCAG 2.1 standards.

Diraq’s silicon spin qubits are exceptionally fast, performing up to a million fault-tolerant operations in under a minute — but this speed demands a powerful, low-latency interface to manage control, error correction and hybrid quantum-classical processes. NVIDIA’s new NVQLink provides that capability, replacing the earlier DGX Quantum system. NVQLink offers Diraq an open, high-performance platform for orchestrating its quantum processing unit (QPU) alongside the classical c
