## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1** 

**BTQ Technologies Awarded Australian Government Industry Growth Program Support to Accelerate QCIM Commercialization**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Australian Government support:** BTQ has been selected for the Australian
Government's Industry Growth Program Advisory Service to accelerate the commercialization of its Quantum Compute-in-Memory (QCIM) chip,
a next-generation silicon platform for post-quantum security.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **What QCIM enables:** QCIM is a crypto-agile secure element that delivers
classical and post-quantum cryptography directly in silicon, targeting high-throughput, low-power encryption and signatures for mission-critical
sectors including defense, financial services, telecom, and critical infrastructure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Commercialization pathway:** The program provides strategic guidance
to move QCIM from a validated test chip to a production-ready platform, complementing BTQ's silicon validation collaboration with ITRI
and its previously announced work with ICTK to progress toward integrated deployment and real-world validation.

VANCOUVER, BC, March 9, 2026 /CNW/ - **<u>BTQ Technologies Corp.</u>** (**"BTQ"** or the **"Company"**) (Nasdaq: BTQ) (CBOE CA: BTQ) (FSE: NG3), a global quantum technology company focused on securing mission-critical networks, is pleased to announce it has been awarded support through the Australian Government's Industry Growth Program Advisory Service to accelerate the commercialization of its Quantum Compute-in-Memory (**"QCIM"**) chip, a next-generation silicon platform designed to enable secure, scalable cryptographic computation for the post-quantum era.

The Industry Growth Program Advisory Service supports high-potential companies developing innovative technologies aligned with national capability priorities. BTQ's selection recognizes QCIM as a critical hardware platform for enabling post-quantum security across defense, financial services, telecommunications, and critical infrastructure.

QCIM is a crypto-agile secure element designed to deliver classical and post-quantum cryptography directly in silicon. The platform enables high-throughput, low-power encryption and digital signatures while remaining adaptable to evolving global post-quantum cryptography standards. By embedding quantum-resilient security at the hardware layer, QCIM reduces long-term migration risk for organizations preparing for the transition to a post-quantum world.

Through the Industry Growth Program Advisory Service, BTQ will receive strategic commercialization guidance to advance QCIM from a validated test chip to a production-ready platform. This includes refining go-to-market pathways, identifying priority defense and mission-critical sectors, supporting pilot deployments, and aligning QCIM with Australian national security and sovereign capability objectives.

BTQ's participation in the Industry Growth Program Advisory Service complements other QCIM commercialization pathways already underway. BTQ is collaborating with the Industrial Technology Research Institute ("ITRI"), a world-leading applied R&D organization founded in 1973 that has helped transform Taiwan's industries into innovation-driven sectors and has incubated hundreds of startups and spinoffs, including UMC and TSMC. Through this collaboration, BTQ and ITRI will build and test QCIM in silicon, advancing the program into a key validation stage by measuring performance characteristics such as speed and power consumption and producing benchmark results to guide product development, integration, and deployment planning. This validation work complements BTQ's previously announced work with ICTK, which is focused on developing a fully integrated, commercially deployable post-quantum chipset and progressing it toward real-world validation and deployment.

BTQ is advancing QCIM as a 28-nanometer secure element implementation. The platform is designed to support NIST-standard post-quantum algorithms alongside classical cryptography within a single hardened architecture, enabling performance improvements, reduced power consumption, and simplified system integration compared to traditional multi-component security chips.

The commercialization of QCIM will provide a foundational hardware layer for post-quantum-ready systems, including secure communications, authentication, and data protection in environments where long-term security assurance is critical. Initial deployment targets include defense systems, payment and financial infrastructure, telecom networks, industrial IoT, and secure computing platforms.

"Being selected for the Australian Government's Industry Growth Program Advisory Service is an important step in scaling QCIM from a validated test chip into a production-ready secure element," said **Olivier Roussy Newton, Chief Executive Officer of BTQ Technologies.** "Working directly with government partners helps ensure our commercialization roadmap is aligned with Australia's national defense and security priorities, and allows us to focus QCIM development on the mission-critical requirements where quantum-resilient security is most urgent. Combined with our silicon validation work with ITRI and our integration pathway with ICTK, we are advancing QCIM toward real-world deployment and large-scale procurement."

Participation in the Industry Growth Program Advisory Service strengthens BTQ's ability to deliver QCIM as a deployable and certifiable secure element for large-scale procurement, while supporting Australia's objectives to build sovereign capability in advanced semiconductors, cryptography, and quantum-ready technologies.
