SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES), a provider of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) hardware and software, has announced a major strategic decision to increase its dedicated Quantum Investment Fund from $35 million to over $100 million. The amplification of the fund is intended to reinforce Europe’s leadership in Quantum Security and accelerate the company’s vision to achieve European technological sovereignty.
The expanded fund will be deployed to drive three primary strategic objectives: accelerate the rollout of a fully Quantum-Safe digital ecosystem, contribute to the development of a European sovereign Quantum Computer, and establish a pan-European Quantum Corridor connecting research, industry, and secure infrastructure. SEALSQ defines a sovereign Quantum Computer as a system designed, manufactured, operated, and secured entirely within Europe, ensuring regional control over the entire supply chain.
The strategy emphasizes the convergence of PQC algorithms, quantum-resilient hardware, secure satellite communications, and AI-enhanced security modules. The company highlighted several existing investments that align with this coordinated approach:
- Spain: A commitment of approximately $12 million to develop a PQC Semiconductor Personalization and Test Center in Murcia, supported by the Spanish government’s SETT.ES program.
- France: The acquisition of IC’Alps (for approximately $14 million) for custom quantum-ready silicon, and an investment in ColibriTD for QKD and hybrid PQC communication capabilities.
- USA: A strategic investment in EeroQ, a quantum chip design company, as part of SEALSQ’s “Quantum Made in USA” strategy.
Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ, stated that by increasing the fund, the company is accelerating the innovation required to protect critical infrastructure and is building a fully vertically integrated quantum computing ecosystem.
