We are thrilled to announce that PQShield has officially been named in the 2026 edition of The Sunday Times 100, the definitive league table ranking Britain’s fastest-growing private technology companies. In a field of exceptional innovation supported by Singer Capital Markets, HSBC Innovation Banking, and BDO. PQShield’s inclusion reflects not just our commercial momentum, but the critical importance of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) in today’s global infrastructure.
Why This Milestone Matters
The Sunday Times 100 recognises companies that aren’t just growing, but are scaling with purpose. For PQShield, 2025 was a year of rapid expansion as we helped governments and Fortune 500 companies move from “quantum-aware” to “quantum-safe.” From securing the world’s most popular messaging apps to embedding high-assurance PQC into global semiconductor supply chains, our growth is a direct result of the trust our partners place in our research-led approach.
“To be recognised as one of the fastest-growing tech firms in Britain is a testament to our collective mission: ensuring that the world’s digital backbone remains secure in the quantum era. This growth allows us to invest even more deeply in the research and engineering that our customers depend on”, Dr Ali Kaafarani, Founder & CEO, PQShield.
Celebrating British Tech Excellence
The pace required to secure a place on this list is a high bar, and we are incredibly proud to stand alongside the UK’s most visionary private companies. Whether it is life sciences or silicon-level hardware IP, this list proves that Britain remains a global powerhouse for deep-tech innovation.
