WISeKey Semiconductors S.A.S Rebranded as SEALSQ France S.A.S to Expand Post-Quantum Semiconductor Development in Meyreuil, Aix-en-Provence - Seite 2

SEALSQ France, located near Aix-en-Provence—the birthplace of the smart card and a continuation of our core activities—specializes in the design and customization of secure microcontrollers. These products act as digital passports to authenticate machines and high-value IoT devices, serving as a cornerstone for new US (US Cybertrust Mark) and European (ETSI XXX) standards now imposed on connected device manufacturers to protect users from cybercrime and industries from counterfeiting.

In an industry where only the number of companies globally who can design and market such products is highly restricted, SEALSQ France's expertise and track record of excellence allow us to serve high-profile clients.

Our core expertise lies in continually anticipating future cybercriminal threats, with quantum computing identified as the most significant emerging threat in our highly connected world. In response, SEALSQ France has developed a new generation of microcontrollers capable of withstanding quantum computing threats, aligning with recommendations from the National Agency for the Security of Information Systems (ANSSI).

Our ambitious project not only leads the way in research into semiconductor-based cybercrime prevention but also fosters job creation and utilizes academic resources, including a partnership with the MINES Saint-Etienne Research Institute. This initiative is integral to Europe and France's strategy to achieve sovereignty in the semiconductor supply chain, a critical component in the digital transformation of our world.

Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ, stated, "The strategic aspect of maintaining and developing post-quantum technology in France is particularly beneficial as it not only ensures that this key technology remains in France, thus strengthening our independence in the next-generation semiconductor sector, but it also stimulates investment cooperation between France and Switzerland. By increasing our investment in France, we are consolidating the foundations of a lasting technological and economic partnership that benefits the entire European ecosystem."
