Insights
TL;DR Strong APAC booking growth and named customer pilots indicate early commercial traction in enterprise use cases.
Bookings in the APAC region rising 83% year-over-12-months is a material operational signal of demand within that geography. Hosting a regional user conference creates a platform to convert interest into further pilots and potential system sales. Named engagements with Japan Tobacco and NTT DOCOMO illustrate concrete applications in quantum AI drug discovery and optimization, while the Yonsei relationship signals institutional demand that may lead to an on-campus Advantage2 system acquisition.
TL;DR Regional partnerships and completed pilots point to growing enterprise adoption of annealing quantum technology in APAC.
The conference and customer highlights emphasize practical use cases鈥擜I/ML and optimization鈥攔ather than solely research demonstrations. Completion of an optimization pilot by NTT DOCOMO and a pilot framework with Japan Tobacco demonstrate that D-Wave's annealing approach is being evaluated for production problems. The Yonsei collaboration, tied to potential acquisition of a Advantage2 system, suggests institutional investment that could broaden local uptake and ecosystem development.
