Geneva, Switzerland, Sept. 22, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- SEALSQ Corp and WISeKey International Holding Ltd have expanded their Quantum Highway™, an interconnected sovereign technology infrastructure that spans multiple countries and extends into space. This strategic initiative aims to link specialized centers of excellence across Switzerland, Spain, France, the United States, and India, forming a robust chain of trust from semiconductor design and post-quantum security to quantum computing and space.
The Quantum Highway architecture is designed to connect various centers rather than concentrating critical technologies in a single location. These centers aim to cover the entire spectrum of secure semiconductor and ASIC design, post-quantum security, semiconductor personalization, Root of Trust and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), photonics, quantum computing, and quantum-secure satellite communications.
A significant new component of the Quantum Highway is the planned Post-Quantum Semiconductor and Cybersecurity Center in the Canton of Jura, Switzerland. This project, previously announced by WISeKey, SEALSQ, and the Republic and Canton of Jura, involves an investment of CHF 40-60 million and is expected to create approximately 150 qualified jobs within five years and more than 250 over the longer term. The center will combine SEALSQ’s post-quantum semiconductor expertise with Jura’s internationally recognized capabilities in microtechnology, precision manufacturing, and industrial engineering.
This Swiss initiative is part of a broader Swiss Quantum Technology Corridor that connects Geneva, Lausanne, Jura, and space. Geneva provides WISeKey’s Root of Trust and PKI infrastructure, while Lausanne contributes advanced photonics through Miraex. Jura will add semiconductor personalization, testing, certification, and future ASIC capabilities, and WISeSat could extend this chain of trust into secure orbital infrastructure.
In Spain, Quantix Edge Security is developing semiconductor capabilities in Murcia, supported by a planned investment of approximately €40 million. La Línea de la Concepción provides an additional connection to post-quantum communications and WISeSat activities. In France, SEALSQ’s operations provide secure-element and post-quantum semiconductor engineering, while its subsidiary IC’ALPS offers ASIC and mixed-signal design capabilities. Together with the Grenoble technology ecosystem, these capabilities are positioned to support the development of emerging quantum-computing technologies.
In the United States, SEALSQ’s investment in EeroQ connects the Quantum Highway with quantum computing based on electrons on helium. In India, cooperation with Kaynes is intended to develop local capabilities in post-quantum semiconductor design, testing, and secure personalization, connecting these activities with the Group’s space ecosystem.
The final extension of the Quantum Highway is into space. Through the Quantum Spatial Orbital Cloud (QSOC), SEALSQ and WISeSat plan to combine post-quantum technologies, quantum-generated trust, and satellite connectivity to create secure orbital infrastructure. The roadmap contemplates the deployment of up to 100 satellites.
The Quantum Highway spans the following countries: Spain ↔ France ↔ Switzerland ↔ United States ↔ India ↔ Space. A secure semiconductor could be designed in France, securely personalized in Spain, Switzerland, or India, anchored to WISeKey’s Root of Trust in Geneva, interconnected through Swiss photonics, linked to quantum-computing environments in Europe or the United States, and ultimately extended into orbit through WISeSat.
