[{"type":"text","content":"Geneva, Switzerland, Aug. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Geneva, Switzerland, August 21, 2025 -- 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, today announced the signing of a non-binding Letter of Intent with Ajyal Holding (“AJYAL”), (together the “Partners”) to establish a Joint Venture in United Arab Emirates (“UAE”) with the name KUAENTUM. Building on UAE’s high-tech and space ecosystem, the Joint Venture intents to develop a cutting-edge Post-Quantum Semiconductors Personalization Center (PQSPC) in Abu Dhabi, and integrate a post-quantum satellite production line as part of its global semiconductor and space security strategy. The project is subject to standard closing conditions including, but not limited to, the execution and signing of definitive agreements. The Abu Dhabi KUAENTUM Joint Venture is intended to serve as a secure hub for the personalization and testing of post-quantum semiconductors. Core services are expected to include digital ID injection and embedded software updates at both wafer and IC levels. In parallel, the facility plans to support the production of quantum-resilient communication satellites, delivering end-to-end security from chip to space. The Partners estimate the investment required to complete this project will be on the order of approximately $100 million. SEALSQ's decision to select Abu Dhabi was driven by its rapidly advancing high-tech and space ecosystem, strong support for semiconductor localization, and strategic investment initiatives led by the UAE government. Abu Dhabi offers a unique convergence of digital infrastructure, sovereign wealth backing, and a growing talent base focused on AI, cybersecurity, and aerospace engineering. The PQSPC and satellite production facility aims to: Personalize and test post-quantum cryptographic chips based on SEALSQ's proprietary architectures.Integrate quantum-resistant encryption modules directly into satellite systems for government and critical infrastructure applications.Serve as a regional hub for semiconductor and space innovation across the Middle East and beyond, in alignment with national security and digital sovereignty goals.Host AI-driven R&D programs for adaptive semiconductors and autonomous satel...
