SEALSQ, WISeKey and Canton of Jura Sign MoU to Develop Post-Quantum Semiconductor and Cybersecurity Center in Switzerland

DELÉMONT, Switzerland, Sept. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Proposed CHF 40-60 million public-private initiative aims to establish sovereign semiconductor personalization capabilities in Switzerland and create up to 250+ direct jobs in the Canton of Jura

SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, its parent company, WISeKey International Holding Ltd (SIX: WIHN; NASDAQ: WKEY), (“WISeKey” or “the Company”) a global leader in cybersecurity, digital identity and IoT, and The Republic and Canton of Jura, Switzerland, today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) to collaborate on the establishment of a Post-Quantum Semiconductor and Cybersecurity Center (the “Jura Center”) in the Canton of Jura.

The proposed Jura Center represents an indicative investment of approximately CHF 40-60 million over a period of six years. The initiative is intended to establish a strategic Swiss capability for the design, personalization, testing and secure provisioning of next-generation post-quantum semiconductor technologies.

At the heart of the project will be SEALSQ's QS7001 Quantum Shield, a secure semiconductor designed to implement post-quantum cryptographic algorithms standardized by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology, including ML-KEM and ML-DSA.
