Five lesser-known SPACs tapping AI, quantum and digital asset innovation
A Ticker Take segment highlights five Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs) that may offer exposure to emerging technologies, including quantum computing, AI infrastructure and digital assets, as SPAC activity re-emerges in growth markets.
In a recent episode of Ticker Take, financial analysts spotlight five SPACs that fly under the radar but are linked with next-generation tech sectors such as quantum computing, artificial intelligence infrastructure, tokenised assets and genomics/health tech.
The list reflects renewed investor interest in SPACs as an alternative route to public markets for early-stage innovators outside mainstream IPO pipelines.
Crane Harbor Acquisition Corp (CHAC) is targeting Xanadu Quantum Technologies, a Canadian quantum computing company planning to go public via SPAC, aiming to accelerate quantum hardware development.
Churchill Capital Corp X (CCCX) is set to merge with Infleqtion, a firm building quantum computers and precision sensing systems, in an ~$1.8 billion deal.
Cantor Equity Partners II (CEPT) is associated with Securitize, a digital securities platform enabling regulated tokenisation of real-world assets (including potentially AI/tech-linked assets).
Willow Lane Acquisition (WLAC) is linked to Boost Run, an AI-enabled delivery-optimization platform, offering exposure to logistics tech with generative and predictive capabilities.
Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp (PCSC) is connected to Freenome, a company focused on AI-driven early cancer detection and genomics, blending AI with life-science innovation.
Together, these SPAC deals illustrate how blank-check vehicles are resurfacing in markets for AI, quantum and digital transformation, offering investors early access to companies that might otherwise take longer to reach public markets.
