[{"type":"text","content":"Geneva, Switzerland and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, March 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SEALSQ Corp (\"SEALSQ\" or \"the Company\"), a leader in semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology, today announced a significant initiative to establish an Open Semiconductors Assembly and Test (OSAT) Center in Saudi Arabia, at LEAP, the world's premier technology event, which will take place from March 4-7 at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center in the capital's Malham district, in Saudi Arabia. LEAP, celebrated as Saudi Arabia's \"Digital Davos,\" has attracted over 172,000 participants, and is highlighting Generative AI (GAI) and its transformative impact on industries globally, with a keen focus on developments in Saudi Arabia. OSAT is designed to offer a comprehensive array of testing services, including wafer and final tests, as well as assembly services for various semiconductor packages such as QFN, BGA, WLCSP, and others. This initiative is a key component of a larger strategy aimed at developing Semiconductor Personalization Centers through Public-Private Partnerships (PPP). SEALSQ is currently in active discussions to launch three major projects across Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East. These OSAT centers will employ RISC-V technology for chip design, focusing on local manufacturing to meet the highest standards of security and certification from authoritative bodies like Common Criteria and NIST. Notably, this Saudi Arabia-based OSAT initiative is part of SEALSQ's dedication to advancing semiconductor technology by integrating quantum-resistant cryptographic capabilities to combat the looming threats posed by quantum computing. This involves embedding post-quantum cryptographic algorithms directly within the semiconductor architecture and offering robust protection against both present and future cryptographic challenges. Moreover, the incorporation of AI into this new generation of semiconductors is expected not only to enhance performance but also to introduce adaptive, intelligent security and efficiency protocols directly into the hardware. This paves the way for semiconductors that are quantum-resistant, self-optimizing, and capable of adapting to emerging threats and operational demands. The fact that SEALSQ is a spin-off of WISeKey International Holding Ltd. (“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), a renowned ...
